Hi All,

I need some help working the Blackberry Service out!!

One of my colleagues at work can add me to the work Blackberry solution but I can't get the Blackberry phone. So I will pick one up from ebay, I am looking for a 7730.

Now I know that to use it with the Enterprise Server the Blackberry device needs the 'Enterprise Activation option'. So what determines of the unit has this enabled? Can it be turned on?

I hope that all makes sense

You Blackberry 7730 will work either way. It is up to you to decide.

To see the Enterprise Activation icon, the BlackBerry must be running OS v4.0 or higher. The 7730 will not run OS v4.0, it doesn't have enough memory. I would suggest looking at one of the newer models with 64 MB of memory. If your wanting to stick with a GSM/GPRS device you might look at the 7290, 8700, and the 7100 series. You can compare the different models HERE.

With that all being said, you can still use the 7730 if you want to, you just have to activate it differently. The model is past its prime, but still functional.

Looking at the blackberry site I think the 7730 will run v4.0 but I have also seen that it can be slow.

Looking at the 7290
Cant really get the 8700 in the UK yet and I don;t like the look of the 7100.

Thanks

Yeah, your right. I didnt look close enough when I said it wouldn't.

I work for a large networking company in the bay area. My IT team issued me a 7730 with v4.0 on it and has been running fine for the last 9months.
