It appears it has been released to bell canada and is not wireless specific.

I loaded it up and was able to easily add my bes blackberry to unite.

Some things it adds

- a download manager that allows you to grab files off of the computer running the software. If you are on the local wifi, it downloads to sd card. Otherwise anything over a 1 meg you have to use a usb cable.

- a new browser option - this is key to getting around my bes and its layers and filters... make unite default browser and I am using my local home internet and not the saturated work connection.

- calendar and contact catergories that sync in real time with all devices attached.

- make any pop or imap, into direct push via unite software (watered down bes able to run locally on xp or vista).

- It works and it is free!

Hooray!... this is the holly grail! this is actually better then os 4.5 imho

AWESOME!!! Bell’s BlackBerry Unite Works On Other Carriers!!! | BerryReview

Do all devices have to share the same calendar and contacts, or can you select to only share a certain category, etc? Are the calendars merged, or are they partitioned in some way where you can see what is your calendar and what are events on another person's calendar?

on the device, the first option is which calendar you are in. The shared calendar or "name" is always "Unite". If you make a new appointment on UNite, all users will instantly get it.

You can have seperate calendars, but category....

Like I said, I am on bes and now unite at the same time and it is nice to have a personal side so i can port it all over...

however, i do not see a place to import from outlook or any other import options in the unite software.

still is awesome though.

I just tried enabling html email support, the sql command went through, waiting for my vista machine to finish rebooting remotely.

Good news!

So sounds like a home-based BES for all intents and purposes. Neat stuff!

well sort of legacy it doesnt do what BES does you cant use outlook calendar or contacts so far only thing I see that its worth is for transfering files

well keep in mind its designed for families. you can limit the use of certain phones, keep them from going over minutes, block features (text/mms/browser/etc), share calendar/contacts with everyone, keep tabs on what certain phones are doing, etc.

yeah but when you are the only one with a BB its not really useful lol .Dont get me wrong I think its cool as hell and will use the file transfer like mad.

what is this html email support feature...I dont see where you enable that...please advise

and how do I get back my browser or modify the it policy to allow it

delete unite is the only way i could make it work

delete it how...thru the uninstall or what did you do exactly

had to reset to factory settings and eventually wipe whole handheld and delete unite off my PC

is your firewall still locked down?

I had to do a wipe with jl cmder. Just a regular wipe was not good enough.

same here..


No my firewall is fine now that i got rid of that dreadful program

It does stink I just want a program to share and update a calendar ota.

me too zero me too

I did a wipe with jl cmder but it still left the IT policy on there and locked my firewall. I had to put a blank policy in there to get rid of the IT policy, but my firewall is still locked. When I did the wipe on my 8330 I didnt get the reset to factory settings option I just got wipe........

Why not use Google Sync with a Google Calendar? And if need be, use the Outlook sync to get your Google Calendar and Outlook with the same data?

did you use the latest jl_cmdr? 9.0


wont work on outlook 2007 I have been trying for weeks its a know problem and they are working on it they say.

Ya I would make sure it's the latest one and try again, after the process it will do a wipe and finish with a battery pull.

I thought I had 1.9 but I had 1.8.3

yeah it worked!!!

oh no now my firwall is locked again what the heck!

could it be a setting that is getting reloaded when I restore my backup?

I'm gonna take a guess here, but I think there are, if not already, gonna be a lot of pissed people to find out that if they dont like the software, there gonna be screwed with all these policies and changes made to their BB. I would have to say that RIM will need to issue either an update to the software or a utility to remove all the things that should no longer be there in the event the user decides they dont want to use it...just a guess

Its the same exact process with the IT policy if you leave the BES/BPS. You have to replace it with a blank policy. Unite! is just another in the line of server/server type products offered by RIM.

Ah, I'm currently stuck on Outlook 2000 waiting on my new box to be configured, and I know it won't work on that. Says that 2003 and 2007 are only supported. Was looking forward to using it on 2007. Sad to see it doesn't meet their own requirements.

i can't get rid of it on my device either after 2 JL_CMDR wipes and loading the new OS's the crap is still on my phone and it wont let me use my browser

Well I just got set up on 2007, and the sync seems to work fine for me.

you got the google app working on 2007 how?

I'm talking about the Google Calendar Sync app. It runs in the taskbar and I've set it up to Sync with Outlook every 30 minutes. Tested with created an appointment in Outlook, forcing a sync and it showed up in my Google Calendar. Then, the Google Sync on the BB picks it up from the Google calendar.

Yeah, it's a roundabout way but it seems to work.

For those that have tried unite, do you need to have a BES data plan or can you use a BIS data plan. I would like to run this software for my wife and I. We both have blackberrys but I don't have to have to move my verizon data plan to the 44.99 I would like to keep them both at the 29.99 BIS only plan. Would this work??? I don't know that unite is a stripped down BES but I am just hopping that it works with the BIS data. If not its back to looking at syncml.

TIA

Jase

works fine on BIS just be aware its a seperate calendar not the outook one.

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if Unite will work if WAP is disable via BES policy, and you only have MDS access?

Thanks,

jtsm
