Blackberry Connect on Cingular Treo 750, successful anyone ?

---

Hi

Did anyone figure out why BB Connect is not working on the Cingular Treo 750 ? I have downloaded the client and the desktop app. and I am not able to make it work. Yes, my account has been provisioned w/ Blackberry capabilities. Yes, I have read all possible threads about this, including the ones for the cingular 8525 (BTW, a colleague of mine w/ 8525, same plan as me, works w/ BBC just fine, this is why I believe it is a Treo)

Now, here's what I get:
- BB Connect Desktop: when trying to connect to the BES server (4.1 w/ Lotus Notes), in the PIN field I get "Unknown type"; my BES guys here weren't able to give me any reasons for that, logs look clean etc.
- on the Treo: the BBConnect client shows as stopped, comes back to this status after attempting to start it. Does that no matter if I am connected or not to the Internet. Yes, I have disabled the proxy setting for Cingular Internet. I tried also both connectivity options, the built-in one (wap....) and also isp... with the same results.

Anyone w/ more clues for this

TIA,
HC

I've gotten a bit further, but still not working

I have pretty much the same setup as above ... though I am now running the vodafone ROM instead of the cingular. Also, for reference, my BBConnect software is version 4.0.0.62.

My results are that I can get the Status screen to display "Service: Data Tunnel Available" and at the same time on the Identity screen I get an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range, but my PIN still stays at "Pending" no matter what I have tried.

Does anyone know how the PIN is generated for BBConnect? Is it just a hash from the IMEI or an IMEI/SIM hash?

Hi,
Thanks for pointing out the version, I missed that :) . On my Treo I have on Settings -> Blackberry -> about: Blackberry version: 2.1.2.31, Transport Version: <nothing here>, System Version: 228.58.98.115, Device Type: Palm_Treo_750-GPRS

My BBConnect Desktop for Windows Mobile is: 2.1.1.18

They are both from the BBCVoda.zip archive circulating the forums.

Anyone w/ a hint ?

tsawyer, you are more advanced than me, I see that you have the Data tunnel available and an IP address. Try to use the BBC Desktop for Win Mobile instead of the BBConnect. Where did you get that piece of software, v 4.0.0.62 anyway ?

TIA,
HC

BBC Desktop and v4 BBConnect

I've tried the BBConnect Desktop for WM and I had the same results ... Pin shows "Unknown type" and trying to connect to the device results in a "PIN Code = 0" error, presumably because the device has not generated it's own pin number yet.

I received the BBCv4 software directly from RIM, which had been distributed as part of their beta program. Unfortunately, I was not able to be part of the actual beta program, and this have no feedback from RIM on this issue.
