Blackberry
 

Got a 2nd hand blackberry. I've unlocked it from Vodafone & am now using a 3 simcard.
Can anyone help me set it up please?
Is it possible to use Gmail as the mail service so that you are notified of new emails?
I can use the internet & go on the mobile gmail site fine, but would prefer to use it properly.
Many thanks

Left hand button to get the full menu ... option near the bottom called setup .... can get email notifications, etc ....

Your easiest way is to go to 'setup wizard' and it'll walk you through it .... simples :-)

OK I'm in email setup option
only option is "I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server"
so Next
Has your BB Ent Server administratior provided you with an Enterprise Activation password
wtf?

Re: Blackberry
 

Can you see Setup wizard ??... should be an option right after 'setup'

If you want gmail updates I think the android phones are what you need.

I know you can use blackberry service with a corporate Blackberry enterprise server (BES) or a hosted one like on t-mobile. Each handset is registered against the BES hence the activation PIN

I'm pretty sure the blackberry servers are propietary

That is way over my head .... but I've got a Blackberry on Vodafone .... and I've got my googlemail account up ok ....

Re: Blackberry
 

Can't you 'Push' your gmail to a 3 email account? Then maybe it'll register on your Blackberry.

Just a guess on my part I'm afraid, as my work emails get 'pushed' to the blackberry server and then to my BB.

easy.. sell it and get a windoes mobile phone or an iphone.

+1so how did you achieve this? did you do it yourself or some one did it for you?
