Unfortunately I don’t have html email or the ability to view other people’s calendars yet as both these features look like they need the blackberry server upgrading to a new version – something I’ve requested we look at doing, especially as this will make us a lot more effective. The biggest thing was that the device lost it’s ability to synchronise with our corporate server – so no incoming or outgoing email – oops! This is a big deal as my blackberry is used primarily for corporate email AND I had to go and get my BES manager to reactivate the phone for me. ![]() My Cacheberry software lost the database and registration details – again no big deal as I can reload the gpx into Cacheberry and I have the registration details saved.īlackbird, my twitter client, lost it’s settings so I had to re-enter the username and password again. No big deal but surprising this was the case. The upgrade went fairly smoothly apart from the following gotcha’s.Īfter the reboot, my theme was set back to a different one than what I normally use. ![]() I took the plunge to upgrade my device (as I *really* want the html email functionality). I discovered that Sprint have finally released the 4.5 version of firmware for the blackberry 8330 that will work with a BES server. The solution for this is to delete the empty speed dial entry for w and then reboot by pulling the battery out. The other difference I’ve noticed is that pushing 1 for Voicemail no longer worked and instead the phone asks me to assign a shortcut for the w key. So far I’ve not seen much difference but yesterday I did see the option to enhance the call quality whilst on a call (but seeing as though I saw this when trying to work out why neither of us on a call could hear each other I don’t think the button really helped!) If this happens again, go to Options, Advanced Options, Wireless Update, Check for Updates. Considering the blackberry state couldn’t get much worse I downloaded the new update and voila – gmail was available again. ![]() I tried searching online and couldn’t find much information and no solutions on this problem.įor some reason I then decided to do another check for wireless update and sure enough, there was another wireless update. It was also only downloading some of the emails – not what I wanted. The Sprint website gave me the ability to download my gmail into the main blackberry email application which then meant I had a mixture of gmail and work mail in one inbox. I knew it was as I’d been using it about 4 hours earlier! I tried several methods of installing and nothing worked. When I went to download it again, the gmail website stated that gmail was not available for the 8830. Thinking a deletion and redownload would fix it, I went ahead and deleted the application. Anyway – after the upgrade I went to access gmail and initially gmail would just lock up after loading. ![]() This seems to be a common theme with the Blackberry – I don’t know what is so hard about getting Blackberry to store data on SD cards but instead they insist on storing everything on the devices memory – and Windows SmartPhones and Treo’s were no better from my past experience. It warns you that it will take a couple of hours to do – and also stated that I need to remove some applications as I was running out of memory. A couple of weeks ago I decided to do a wireless upgrade of my Blackberry.
