You cannot use the 7130e software on a 7250--it will not work...

[craeside]

This is what htey are syaing I am about to try it and will let you know the results. If I blow up my BB they can replace it immediatly with a new one.

This is the word from them so hey if it does not work than its their problem.

The 4.1 for the 7130 has different jre code. Remember the 7250 is an ARM proc and the 7130 is an Intel Xscale

This smells fishy to me. Can anyone confirm this procedure?

[Jase88]

The 7130e has the Qualcomm MSM6500 chipset. Currently, the only Blackberry device with the Intel xscale is the 8700.

My bad you're right

the idiot who told u that obvously doesnt know what hes talking about. but dont belive anything the call center says because they are the last to get informed but yet the read the same echos that we do at store level. the site now says april 24th for evdo on 7250. we still havent gotten anything at the store for a software update but i hope that we get the software well before the 24th hopefully monday.

[mdthomas8]

I know everyone else probably knows this, but v4.1.0.329 of the software is now on Blackberry's Bell Mobility Download site...

[omkhar]

As I download this new software, is anyone clear on how the PRL issue is being handled?

[milkman1031]

yeah i dled the new software on to my bb from bell but yeah no new prl. I am now informed that the store i work at will be doing the flash so im just waiting for the stuff to come it and i will pass on the word to see if it can be done @ home :d

[mdthomas8]

Just noticed that the Voyageur Software has been updated to include the 7250 as an available device... just updating my bb now and will try shortly.

[omkhar]

The new voyageur s/w works wonderfully - unfortunately I can't verify network connectivity as I'm currently at a client site. The client is a hospital and frowns upon my BBerry use ;-(

I can't get the new voyageur s/w to connect... BB switches to modem mode, and then I get an error 19 with the Voyageur Software. I used to be able to connect with a direct dial of #777 and then my @1x.bell.ca with v/m password, but that doesn't work any more (when I used to connect I would get an IP, but couldn't ping anything).

I must be missing something... probably need the new PRL, or have to subscribe to the data-to-go service.

[Jase88]

I can't get it to connect either. Unlike you, I don't get an error. It just seems to hang up on "authenticating.." Tried entering in the original voicemail password, etc.

The Data support guy said there are two updates which must be installed by a tech at a Bell World: A "mobile IP" update, and of course the PRL.

These aren't yet available....

businessonthego.ca site says at the bottom of the 7250 page...

Already have a BlackBerry 7250 and want it to be even faster? Check in again after April 24th for instructions on how to upgrade your device to the 1xEV-DO mobile broadband network. At no cost to you!

Come on Apr 24th....

[Parabola]

*sigh* Now the site says May 5th.

And the instructions better not be "Head to a Bell World store starting June 1 ... "

[mdthomas8]

I want my EVDO! You'd think Bell would be trying a little harder here... would be nice if they just told us the right date the first time!

[demik1020]

i'm new to BB'S so what is a EVDO. what does it do, what is it for?

[mdthomas8]

quote from Bell web site:

EV-DO
EV-DO stands for EVolution - Data Optimised and is a data only network. 'Data only' means that the 1xEV-DO mobile broadband network is dedicated to wireless data needs, including e-mail, opening attachments, accessing corporate Intranets or the Internet and using feature rich applications. With average download speeds between 400 -700 kbps, Bell clients can now enjoy broadband-like speed, wirelessly, wherever their business takes them.

this is from the businessonthego1.com website (I can't post links yet)


but remeber that EVDO is a shared network - similar to wifi... if everyone is using it your speeds will decrease.
