Got myself a nice and shiny BB 9700, was wondering would the O2 BB bolt on cover me browsing the internet on my phone as well as push email?
yeah mate it covers all data coming in and out of the BB, including browser, emails and apps.

Sweet, it was just that read on o2 forums that some apps use the o2 apn not the BB one therefore racking up massive data bills.

I have never experienced that personally, Maud has been with O2 on BB tariff for 18 months with no problems.

The problems with O2 charging for data on Blackberrys seems to be on the Simplicity tariffs. Just make sure you have nothing entered in the APN settings, that way you should be ok.

Sadly my 9700 lasted me less than two weeks. Nothing wrong with it except the lack of touchscreen and its plain Jane feature set.
I have since put it back into its original box over a month ago and went back to my favourite phone, the P1i.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Hi everyone,
got my Bold 9000 for sale here.
It is unlocked and I have checked it with a Vodafone and an O2 sim
Please can anyone update me about 'unlatching'
If I see it on, what happens? What should I do?
Any advice appreciated..!

might be the lastest o2 offical but there are plenty of newer versions out im on .593 which is the last leak i beleive that came out , have a look here http://forums.crackberry.com/f95/
called as betas but most are just leaks of offical software i think at least one european operator is using .593 as its offical software
just remember to read up on any issues and potential changes before you install, one thing you might have at the min but wont after is the top right button on early firmware put the phone into stand by it doesnt on the newer builds it does what it says in the manual just a mute button. standby is now part of the left top button and is a combo lock and stand by

nicv27 I'm on .586 and it is very stable imo, not had a chance to use .593 as .586 is solid for me no issues at all.

It's pretty straight forward, nothing complicated at all.

That should help you loads, links to new OS are usually sticky'd (http://forums.crackberry.com/f146/)
Hope this helps you.

One thing I cannot STAND on the last three/four leaked firmware's is some idiot at rim thought a smart idea was to effectively disable the hardware device lock button = changing it to sleep while given the screen saver hardware button a useless function = nothing!
Who is the f**ktard at rim that came up with this making the device unsecure. ?!!! Sorry for rant and cussing but this really angered me. This one change is the most stupid decision engineers made of all - a security risk!

Is anyone in this thread a Mac OS X user using BB Desktop Manager?
If so has anyone been able to install downloaded firmware via Mac OS X & BBDesktop Manager directly without using a VM?
Thanks.
I need to know how to exchange firmware on the 9700.
