blackberry setup - Australia (O2 Mini)

---

Hi, was wondering if anyone can help me setup blackberry on my o2mini..

I have upgraded to the latest ROM which claims to have blackberry function.

But i have no idea how to make it work to start receiving my pop mails..

can anyone help me ><

i am with vodafone if that helps...

Just pop into a Vodafone store and they will help you set it up...you will have to go on a plan (not prepaid)

u sure they can help me set it up?
i remember going in before enquiring about blackberry for O2mini and they said its not suported officially..?

Would the setting up blackberry procedure the same as other ones?
i'll go in and ask them then

thanks

From memory I think you'll have to go onto the $49 data plan to use blackberry since they now charge $1 per 5 mins of GPRS connectivity.
Nearly makes me want to switch back to Telstra..... nearly :lol:

yay~~~

now its working~

basically you need to have BB account with your provider (pay service)
and setup account thru their website.

You will need your device's IMEI/PIN number

and POP3 email address + passwords and thats all!!!

Which ROM did you use to update your device?

how much do you on the plan?

I'm wondering whether this is still working for you ... according to this thread, the folks at Blackberry kick you off after a few days if the BB Connect client does not match the ROM's original network ...

PS. i have read alot of discussions on here about getting it to work properly... just to let you all know, if your PIN number for your blackberry client meant for another network.... blackberry themselves will cut of the traffic to your pin number... although this may take a week or so for it to cut off. The network you are with will not know this has happened hense you will get no help from them. This is a LICENSING issue... tech support advisors will not have this within thier network's published information.

Is it still working for you?

Yes its still working for me - with vodafone.

The only thing its not promised to do as a proper BB device is not been able to receive the emails straight away at occassionally.

Also, if you have the USB plugged in the BB email gets disabled automatically untill u unplug it.

I upgraded to the T-Mobile ROM 1.3.
Didnt do the big storage patch as i got lost in the middle of the tutorial and couldnt be bothered... ;p (BUT still have about 20mb original storage)

Also the post about BB checking mismatches probably only applys when ppl install the O2mini 1.3 ROM --> O2miniPro..
Otherwise i cant think of anything that i did more to make it work continueous.

Voda BB unlimited plan is $49 month i think.

Thanks for the info. In any event, work won't allow me to use my O2 for this - not a secure enough device, according to them.

BTW, I did the bigstorage thing ... very straightforward if you follow the 8 steps at the bottom of this page.
