any word on IF/WHEN there will be a CDMA version of the 8700? I had one with Cingular and just took a new position as D Mgr for an exclusive Alltel agent. The 7250 is SOOO B O R I NG after the features and quality of the 8700!!

You can get a really nice leather case from the link below... I just purchased the 8700c and the cases below are the nicest I've seen yet...

Hey, not sure if i'm posting in the right spot or not...
I have a word document on my BB 8700, which i need to access frequently... is there any way to create either a shortcut key to open this document or create a desktop icon linked to it?
Thanks,

Hey, I just got a BB 8700r and I installed the new Os 4.1 However it is not yet connected to the internet I was wondering if theres a way to get ringtones from my computer directly onto my phone, i.e. an mp3 to .alx converter or something like that .. help??

I'm switching from a 7100g to an 8700C. As long as I synchronize the 7100g onto on my computer, I should be able to put it onto my 8700C, correct? How about the added software - how do I keep that?

2nd day w/8700c. I have unlimited data plan w/Cingular, do I need to set up APN settings?

Hi, new member from London. Does anyone know why the 8700 (unlike previous models) has problems syncing with MS OUtlook? I have now had two 8700s and both have stopped syncing contacts about 2/3 way through (3,300 out of 4,800). This is a problem because it randomly "rejects" about a third, without any noticeable reason or pattern. Tied re-installing software several times and using different laptops. Same problem. My service provider hasn't got a clue what's the matter. Do you know?

I have an unlocked 8700g purchased from Europe and am trying to get DATA CONNECTION in USA. So far, no luck. The device will not register. I have contacted RIM and T-Mobile many times and feeling out of options. Does anyone have any information which may assist me in getting a data connection.

Thank you,

Curtis

Is TMO telling you that it's not an IMEI that they can put in? Because, I had a Siemens SK-65 that had that problem. If you have BES, then you MAYBE can get around this issue.

The holster for the 8700 is less superior than any of the others put out. I really liked the holster for the 7290 - the 8700 does not hold the device tightly and it seems to fall out frequenly. But I love the device itself. Just wish I could get a Data connection.

TMO is stating that the Host Routing Table is not accepting a registration. BB states they never show the device has contacted BB to get the HRT. I have downloaded the new software for 8700 and it still does not work. I am really considering going back to the 7290.

I think it would be nice if we could get a sticky post / thread stating the current OS and App versions available for 8700? This would be a real convenience for site users.
