Blackberry Connect, is it possible?

[mumboender]

Is it possible to get Blackberry connect to work? I used it on my Tilt and this is the only thing I miss with this Treo Pro...I cannot use Exchange as our company uses Blackberry, BES....I have tried all the downloads from SEMS.org and tried changing the AKU to .0.4.2 or .0.1.2 like I did with my tilt and nothing has worked, I still cannot get a pin. I also tried changing the device name to the same as the tilt but still no joy...

How does the Blackberry Server know that I am not using a TILT? and is there a way to trick it into thinking I am so I can get a PIN and get up and running.

Anyone?

I don't understand why it works on some phones and not others, if you have a computer with Windows as long as the specs can support them you should be able to run the same software on different computers no mater the manufactuer.

I tried...doesn't work with any BBC downloads on sems.org...it just awaits the PIN...

I also tried changing the AKU like I did on my Kaiser...still no joy....

Hopefully someone smarter than me will get this worked out...I have since bought a FUZE because it supports BBConnect but I like the Pro so much more...

I'll put up $50 bucks if someone can get BB Connect working on my Pro.

My company just found me out and shut down my ActiveSync...so now it is get a company provided BB Bold or get BB Connect to work. I'd much rather the second option!!

I have the same problem...which why I am using a fuze now...but I have not sold my Treo Pro and would go back in a heartbeat! You may want to try Emoze as an alternative but it is a little buggy and nowhere near as good as BB connect.

Bumping, should I raise the bounty?

Well. I had a Treo 680 (Palm OS) and could e-mail one way (from the phone). Now with the Palm Treo Pro (WM 6.1), I have set it up for two way e-mail and calendaring. Stick with me...there MAY be a solution for the BB to work here. (My company does not have Microsoft Exchange either.) Anyway, if you set up a Gmail account, you can then (use their directions) get some e-mail coordinated/synced between your company e-mail (if you have access to your company e-mail through the Internet) and Gmail. Now here's the weird part. You can go to CompanionLink.com and try out their software for 15 days. If you like it, pay. Here is the link:

More specifically to BB, here is a link:
http://www.companionlink.com/products/companionlinkforgoogle.html

As you can see, the CompanionLink software is almost $30, but it works (after some tweeking) with my Groupwise company e-mail and calendar.

Did I win? :confused: If I did, deduct the $30 for the software, and I'll call it even! :rolleyes:
