Hi, I'm a sys admin for an insurance company office in Bermuda. Though, I went to school for graphic design, I fell into this profession because I have a technical background and the job was easily obtained due to my contacts. I've been placed in charge of the Blackberry operations in my company and maintain services for three offices. Sounds like a lot but it's really only one BES and about 30 users. I like to get out a bit. I'm into sailing and was on the junior national team until I turned 19. Hope that I can contribute as much or more than I get out of this forum.

[GovBerry]

Glad to find this forum.

I'm a Blackberry Enteprise Server administrator. I manage 14 production and 14 failover servers. We have a total of 5500 users. We are running BES v3.6 and preparig to upgrade to v4.0, but by the time we get thru all the red tape it will be v4.1

I hope to be able to find and share information.

Don't hesitate to contact me about with server questions.

After 3 months, I've managed to figure out how to emulate PDA functions on my Blackberry and how to receive and send email. And now that Cingular realized that it "forgot" to set the Blackberry Internet Browser on my system, I can go out to websites. But I cannot do a thing when I get there!! Can someone tell me how to enter data on a site -- for example, enter my login when I need one to view functions, click on specific menus, etc.? I feel like an idiot but there's no documentation that explains this and aimless clicking hasn't worked. I have a 7290 that is running v. 3.8

Hi! I'm very new to these forums. I stumbled in here because I am having a hard time installing BES for Domino on this Windows 2003 Server with Domino 6.0.3. Now that I'm here, I'd like to meet up with people especially those with BES and Domino experience.

Hi:
I am new BB user from Puerto Rico. I am an attorney who works majorly out of my office. I manage daily 4 email accounts and even though I learned about BB about a year ago while at Boston, it was not available here in PR till recently. My new BB was my B-day present this past April 7th and I am thrilled! My secretary is not so thrilled since I keep emailing here constantly. The good thing is that we don't have to pick-up the phone so much and it saves my minutes and I don't have to carry my notebook with me. This site has been beeerrry! helpful, since Cingular in Puerto Rico, is not very familiar with the product. Through this site, I have worked my way from configuring my device to productivty software. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Hello

I have just got a Blackberry 5820 off my Father and thought I would share my wisdom. I use mine on BES 4 with Groupwise

[chapter1]

Hi all I'm new

I do support for BlackBerry and hence, found this forum interesting, as this should bring some issues which I may not know of, but have happened before.

[Chewbacca]

Hi All
This looks like a great site!
I am using a 7290 with a 4.0 BES for a few months now, this is my first BB device and I have to say that although I started out cynical about using BB services, having several bad experiences with "wireless e-mail" solutions it is absoloutly great.
I'm looking forward to learning and sharing.

[NXTL*BRIAN]

I just wanted to inroduce myself....I'm a Nextel Authorized Sales Rep. from KY. I just purchased my first blackberrry after seeing this site a couple months ago. I still have an i860 also, but after just having my BB 7250 for a little over a month now, I can honestly say it would be hard to part with it. After learning how to use the web client e-mail properly and programs such as BBTOday, BBLight, and ReqWireless Webviewer, I have to admit this device is an amazing piece of equipment. This is defnitely an awesome tool to have for the business person.

[bdyett]

Hello! I got my first BlackBerry from Ebay a year ago to make sure it was right for me. I have upgraded to a Verizon BlackBerry 7250 and love it.
I wish they gave you a paper manual to keep with you in case you aren't near a computer. I'm not much of a technophile and am looking forward to learning from the Forum (yeah, got the Search thing).

I'm also from NJ like NJBlackBerry! (what part are 'ya from?)

[jacquesb]

I just got a 7100g last week for work - company paying for it - and I'm converting from my personal Treo 600. So far it is a painful transition, somewhat similar to changing from Mac to PC (or vice versa, depending on your frame of reference). Still undecided whether I'm going to keep this thing or give it to another employee in my department. It's nice to have this site available to help me make that transition and/or decision.

[tmj]

I cant put this thing down!....

Hello all,

Love the site. Best of it's kind anywhere. Looking forward to finding new ways to spend even more time on this thing!

welcome aboard my friend

[hades]

Used to be a palm power user...but now with the help of this forum...I am able to just about the same stuff I could on my Treo 650 with a much more useful and powerful email client. I am groing to LOVE this 7250!!

[dsignrimages]

Hello, all...I'm a new convert to BB--just gave up my Kyocera 7135--I've had my new toy just a few days--and am wondering what took me so long! I'm a photographer in NC, and am enjoying "Berry Pix"--for mini slide shows to prospective clients.

This forum is great--keep it going.

[Tigermania]

I'm a newbie and am looking to buy a new BB 7290 and looking at signing up with T-Mobile data plan. Are there any T-Mobile users that has 7290 that are able to use the IM feature? I understand that the T-Mobile has data plans that also includes a BES plan, but I heard that T-Mobile users can have TCP access with regular data plan for 29.99/mo?

I probably will get Verichat, but wanted to make sure that the IM will work on the 7290 as the T-Mobile website stated that the IM works only on 7100. My spec is to have pushup email, SMS, IM, etc, and I'll get them to add the wap.voicestream.com to the account line.

Thanks in advance, and please excuse my lack of tech knowledge with BB.

Hey guys,

I've been a BB user for several years now and I just can't seem to stop like most of you on here (frankly I don't intend to any time soon). This site has been a tremedous help keeping me current with BB solutions (I'm trying to apply for their tech support team ). I have grown quite familiar with the technology behind my beloved companion and I hope to share them to those in need.

I am currently in application development and support using technologies such as VS6 and .NET. If my services could be of use to any one don't hesitate to PM me.

[Networker]

Hey guys, new BB or rather crackberry (CB) as it's so addictive to use this thing. I'm an Information Security Engineer for a Natural Gas company in the SE of the US. Been a long time PDA user, mostly PalmOS for a major PDA, used Linux on my iPAQ for some time and finally purchased a new PocketPC in November. I've eyed the BB for some time but just couldn't think of a good reason to have it. Then last year my company started to put BB out as our CEO wanted a new toy. I didn't get one and after playing with some at work thought wow, this is cool.. Got a 7250 from Verizon Wireless and at least I got data discounts on my unlimited access via my companies contract - we welcomed discount to be sure!

Hello!

I got my BB 7520 a couple of months ago and hopefully.. hope against all hope that this will stick long enough to last me 1 year. I easily get bored with my gadgets but without ebay auctions.. I'd be swamped with them with nobody to play it.

I don't go for shopping malls to get shoes and clothes and anything girls want (mostly). One thing that is scarry is -- shopping malls are someplace you have to drive to .. while www.website.com is just a click away... which is pretty bad.. co'z the next thing I know.. I can't sleep I JUST HAVE TO GET THAT LATEST GADGET!!!

Probably I'm like my Dad.. who has at least 15 Laptops/notebooks of all sizes and just can't get enough of the lastest technology. But then again we are talking about Asia where all the latest gadgets are released first. Not in California

This is my 9th active phone line (too expensive to cut the others).. and my at least 18 phone in the past 3 years.

I used to have the i860, sony clie PEG-UX50 and my t86i (which serves as my modem for the clie), all in one purse that I can't live without... which I was hoping would last a year.. until I saw the Blackberry 7520.

Love Blackberry even if friends make fun of my new Bulky Buddy hanging in on my pants.. hehe.. I don't think I can live without it.. for now.

Mind them...? Nah.. I love my Blackberry I sleep with it.
;)

There is iden in ASIA? I didnt think iden was anywhere but north america.

There is Nextel in some major city in my home country... and that's it.

Hello all,

Just got a 7250 for work this week after Bell cancelled service for our old flip-top alphanumeric pagers. Like going from a bicycle to a jet fighter.

I'm really interested in finding out how to synchronize data between by Blackberry and the various Linux systems I have. I already use a Neuros MP3 player/recorder as an external USB drive (I record my chorus recordings on -- see http://www.northernligtschorus.com) and would like to do the same thing with the Blackberry.

Thanks in advance

[ladydi]

2 months ago, I didn't even know what a blackberry was. you'd think I was living in a cave!!! I just got a gov job as a computer tech and they handed me the BES and a BB 7510. I am totally addicted. we're small, so I only have 9 users and we have a policy of "if it isn't broke, don't fix it." I like to tinker though, so hopefully the BB will survive it!! This site is awesome. I would be even more lost than I already am if I hadn't found it.

[Rainbow]

I have just got a blackberry and have been playing around with it when i noticed that although I can synchronise my blackberry to outlook so that if i delete emails from my blackberry it also deletes them in outlook but can it be done the other way around? In other words if i delete an email from outlook how can I get it to delete from my blackberry automatically?

[Blurr]

new to the forum. i was first introduced to the world of Blackberry when the former President of our company told me he wanted one (about a year and a half ago). I got him, the exec staff and myself 7230s and I now have a 7100t.

[99Vert]

Hello all,

My first Blackberry, awsum!

Now its tinkering time

[petertensuda]

Just got a job in Waterloo, all my customers have blackberries, so I figured I should have one. I don't like to lock into long term contracts so I got an unlocked 5810, figured I would get the data plan and that would be it. I was dumb enough to tell FIDO I had a blackberry and they got rid of my data plan. Should I even bother trying to get a 5810 to work somehow or should I get a more recent one? From what I can tell these blackberry things are fantastic, if they can be made to work.

Thank heaven for this site! I recently started doing tech support at my company I have to admit I had no idea what I was getting into. I'm learning (fast as I can) but I found it very hard to find good info on some of the troubles I've been having. I started with a 6750 then moved to a 7750 and I now have a 7250. Any leads on applications that make this thing even better would be GREAT!

CHEERS!

[wbassman]

BBCO,

You're not kidding about the wife. She's torn because it's got a whole lot of my attention but the email push won a us a huge deal in the middle of the night. I'm a small biz owner, no BES but the web client is an incredible service especially if you outsorce your mail server. Here's to the non-corporate guy (fomerly) lovin't it too.

[Bill Wiley]

Me too. Have you figured out how NOT to have the sent messages display in the messages list?

[sunman]

Hey all! New Blackberry owner, new user. Just got my Blackberry and Motorola HS850 bluetooth headset a few days ago. Love it so far, but I am just happy to be able to use the basic functions, looking forward to learning more on this forum. Been reading, and picked up some great tips, and interesting reading and reviews. A bit scary reading about all the overage charges though! I am on Rogers in Ontario Canada, and have the unlimited plan for data. I do have a few questions regarding the billing, but will ask in appropriate threads. Just introducing myself, thanks for the great info so far, and hope to be able to provide some in time. Sonny,
