I suggest you try out "Mail for Exchange" which does a great job syncing Exchange data wirelessly with your device. There are many blog posts about Mail for Exchange on this blog. @ desmond,

Yet: there is a difficulty in synchronizing the calender, so far it is only a one-way-route: outlook to BBconnect / E61i calendar works fine, but the other way around... Does anyone have a tip for me? Answers highly appreciated. Best regards. Hi all,

I have app v 4.0.0.85 working on my e61i for many moons now (long before the last two posts). Having said that, I can't stand it... At least on BIS. I'm too cheap to spring for BES and exchange. Don't get me wrong -- it works for BIS's push (!?) email well enough -- I get email every 3 to 15 minutes, typically. Long story short, I ended up purchasing profimail from lonelycat and use imap. The attachment viewing is phenomenal, and it's *well* worth the $30 or so. This has also been in use for many moons, so I've given a good look at both. profimail works better on the nokia hands down, but you just can't beat a true blackberry for general text email handling.

Activation will always fail. Also there is no fully supported Blackberry connect software available from Nokia (must use E60 software). Defiantly don't get one if plan to use with BES. Moreover RIM and AT&T will not acknowledge problems with the software, neither side will take responsibility for the product. Just an FYI.

All documents i have read tell me that AT&T/Cingular DOES NOT support Blackberry Connect for the e61i. Nokia's website doesn't even have it for download. Rumors have it that AT&T may take on the nokia, but friends of mine that work at the stores say they are so far in bed with RIMM, that it is doubtful anytime soon. My company also has Exchange 2003, so why do i even need Blackberry Connect? ] Sure they have it as well, but doesn't Exchange 2003 support PUSH email, as well as calendar and contacts?

It worked fine for 1 day and thereafter emails stop coming in. Neither can I send mail. All settings and BB status looked ok. It is getting more frustrating each day as i have to reinstall the BB application and reactivate the account everytime. Does anyone has similar problem or advice on any settings to overcome this problem. tks in adv Hi,

If it's not a stupid question, what is BIS? Individual? I have the right software version on the phone and of the software according to the Nokia business software site. I was just on the phone to Orange, and they told me to put the packet data connection to always on. This got my pin number back up but they still couldn't send me a service book. Then the PIN kept disappearing again. If you could contact me direct on jakepolonsky@gmail.com I would be really grateful. Colin,

I have just migrated 14 users from Blackberries on Orange to E61i on 02 using BES server. Main problem was h/w version and BB version. 1.06xxxx > 7.17 2.06xxxx > 7.45 Blackberry connection kept turning off. With perserverance all worked. Monthly fee down from £49 to £20 per handset Jake,

I think only Telstra in Australia, and some provider in England do. However, I'm surprised T-Mobile tech person claimed such a nonsense. Blackberry Connect is aimed at enterprise market, support for BIS was added later. I would say the client with BIS account utilizes only 20% of the overall functionality. For Jake, the uninstall wipes out the calendar and contact database, as well as message store. Your best bet is to start fresh, and so wipe out the device using *#7370# key combination. After you install, the PIN number should show up in BB setting. With BB Connect 2.1, you should have the PIN number generated in settings even without SIM card. For BB Connect 4.0, PIN number is generated dynamically on the server side, and sent to device. Somehow your device is not being recognized by NOC as RIM approved device. Do you have the right device software and BB client version combination? It is critical you do, or NOC won't let you get on the network. Hi jsa13,

I finally managed to get my PIN number to activate my Blackberry account, and cannot get my handset to connect with Blackberry. It's a weird problem - sometimes my PIN number doesn't come up on my E6i, sometimes it does. The Orange guys were no help, I spent almost two hours talking to Blackberry yesterday, and they were similarly confused. I have reintalled twice now [once it managed to delete all my phone contacts too!]. Has anyone got any suggestions on how to get this thing working. Close to giving up and admitting that if you want Blackberry software, get a Blackberry!
