Blackberry bold 2 (9700) as a modem for Powerbook 15"

Some times in an emergency without hot spots I´ll need to use my bold 2 as a modem to have internet. I follow all instructions by the mexican carrier (Telcel-America movil) but I can´t get internet connection.

Hello,
Try connecting it as a bluetooth modem or PAN.. Go to System Preferences/Network - Choose Bluetooth/ Where it says Telephone, enter your telephone number. Finally, goto advanced and select Generic and for model choose GPR (GSM/3G). Now you should be able to connect via the blackberry's bluetooth modem.
I do this all the time when I am at my friend's house.

Blackberry Bold-9700 Challenging N900 !!

Hi Guys,
I for one very strongly believe for a Audio-Visual product maybe also like a Cellphone the display has to be really good especially if you are also gonna use it as an entertainment device. So on the same lines I was having this discussion which later on turned out into an argument with one of my friend.
Now he has a Blackberry-Bold 9700 which has a Transmissive TFT LCD, Which comes with a Light sensing screen and Backlighting. He was saying that the display of Blackberry Bold 9700 is better then that of the N900. Though the pixel ratio of the N900(800x480) could be higher than that of the Bold (480x360). He said that please do not boast about the high pixel ratio and the 3.5 inch screen real estate it could be all futile if it is not able to produce that quality pictures, with the Transmissive TFT LCD and the Backlighting the display of the BB Bold look a lot richer and lively then the N900. When I looked at it though I kind of felt no the N900 had a better display. But frankly speaking I couldn’t really decide, what he was saying also did make sense as the picture in the Bold looked very lively?
What do you guys think? Does the Transmissive TFT LCD, Light sensing screen, backlighting makes the Blackberry Bold 9700 have a better display than that of the N900. This despite being a N900 forum I expect unbiased observations from Die-Hard Fans of the N900 who also equally appreciate a quality product from a competitor if it truly deserves some admiration and appreciation

this is laughable...cant believe that anyone who understand the visibliiyt rations woule eveer prefer a device to NOT have 2.5 times the pixels and visiblity!!
the n900 has 2.5 times the visibility of the bold. the bold has the same resolution the iphoney has had until this year. it only looks vibrant because of the colors and icon-styling. the visibliliyt and clarity is no where near the same.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you have used up all of your chances to enter the correct unlock code, there is nothing further you can do. Even if you happen to have now the correct code, it is useless. Only the factory can now (legally) unlock your BB. Typically, I've heard that the cost of having BlackBerry do this for you will be greater than the cost of just buying a new one. But, you are able to ask them...see here:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/programs/technical/incident.jsp
Note, however, that this process will start with a fee...
If you obtained your unlock code from somewhere but it was incorrect, your recourse could be with them -- however, they may well question why you exhausted all 10 attempts before contacting them.
Good luck!

Unable to Import Unicode (csv) file to BlackBerry Bold 9700

Hi all
I'm facing some problems with my new BlackBerry Bold 9700. I have Nokia mobile, I exported my contacts using PC-Suite 7. The exported file includes Arabic characters, so the charset used was in Unicode. I've changed the heading for important fields (and removed others) so that they will match with BlackBerry. I imported the file with "BlackBerry Desktop Manager" using "Synchronize" feature. The import was successful, but the charset was in wrong format (just like viewing html page with different codepage!) it was like garbage!
Anyhow, I tried to export, as an example, one contact from my BB and I included Arabic text, when I exported the contact list as (csv) I received a "?????"!!! I then imported the same file with "Synchronize" and strangly it did import and accepted the "?????" and displayed the actual Arabic text as a substitution.
How come BB don't support Unicode?! Is there anyway I can import my contacts from Nokia?
I appreciate any kind of help, hints or tips, thanks in advance...
BlackBerry Bold 9700
v5.0.0.442 (Platform 5.1.0.121)
Regards
Hashem

I guess, the only option that can help in such situation is to use Outlook Express!
This is how I managed to do it:
1. Sync between Nokia PC-Suite and Outlook Express
2. Sync between BB Desktop Manager and Outlook Express
3. Done
or
1. Sync between Nokia PC-Suite and Outlook Express
2. Export from Outlook Express as an address book (WAP) to use it on other machine
3. Import to Outlook Express (you can use Address Book from Accessories)
4. Sync between BB Desktop Manager and Outlook Express
5. Done

BlackBerry Bold 9700: Bluetooth assistant

Hello,
I have the BlackBerry Bold 9700.
I want to send files and receive files via bluetooth?
How to do that?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
See this KB:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
If the other device is not a BB, then substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the sending or receiving device. If the receiving device is a BB, then do not skip the "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do.
Good luck and let us know!

Blackberry Bold 9700, Error Message

My Blackberry Bold 9700, has been displaying a message which says: 'JVM Error 102'. Any suggestions to solve this issue would be very welcome.
Thanks.

Hello Rachanashah and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
You will need to reinstall your device software to correct this issue.
When you connect your BlackBerry® to your Mac® it can take up to thirty minutes to make a connection. You will select the update option on the dialogue box that appears to reinstall the software.
If you are unable to complete the software reload then it would be recommended you contact your mobile network provider for further investigation and transfer to RIM® for further assistance.
Hope this helps answer your question.

Problems with Media and my Blackberry Bold, is it time for me to give up on RIM this is really annoying

Hello RIM,
Over the past year since owning a Blackberry, I have had on-going issues with syncing my music between my (2) bolds, so I know this is not specific to the hardware, I have also managed 400 BB's on a BES before so I have a fair idea of how to do things and troubleshoot issues.
1. My music many times has sounded severely distorted through my car speakers, with lots of bad crackle that hurts my ears
2. Transferring media between my device and my computer is actually really annoying and now I can't even find my playlists on Windows 7
3. This should be seemless, it should not be buggy and I can't believe, having done so much support with your hardware and software that this continues to be a real problem for me
I have a playbook, 2 blackberry bolds (I had to buy another 1 because Mobilicity does AWS only and Bell was just plain mean to me so I gave up on them).
I am ready to go on ebay and get rid of this stuff because whilst I mostly use it as a phone (the reason I went with BB), it is important that I am able to do other things with it, without having to go through a dozen articles and issues just to get things to work, these should have been ironed out in the bug reporting process.
So I have reinstalled both Itunes and BB Desktop Manager, both manually and via repair and tried even recopying over my playlists, this doesn't work.
I can't believe the lousy support and buggy software, come on RIM, there is no excuses in this market, PICK UP YOUR GAME and update the BDS or I am done and so will the many other people who won't even take their time to write anything about it on here but vote with their wallet.

Well you know the playbook is actually pretty cool but didn't seem to be ready to go out on time and being a late entrant to the market I would have expected them to showcase the playbook better, especially like how Nintendo gets out there and gets everyone playing with it hands on, there are some things about the Playbook that actually make it unique but it has been poorly marketed.
Unfortunately getting BDS and everything to work properly should not be an issue, I have already spent thousands of dollars on hardware and my phone provider, what am I actually paying for here? So I will spell out some things that make the Blackberry Playbook special and what I would have been pushing had I been in charge of marketing. Firstly I would have had a few different campaigns going, one that targeted business corporate customers, regular business customers and the public that use them as their choice of smartphone and open to potentially buying one.
1. Flash works really great, come on blackberry, why couldn't you team up with Facebook on this one? Facebook looks better on a Playbook than any other tablet I have seen, in fact the web looks better in general.
2. Stereo speakers(dual), movies sound great, music sounds great and so do games, in this area, Playbook has the upper hand.
3. USB & HDMI out - Allows much easier portability of presentations and transferring of files and now I believe there is the Wifi Sync as well.
4. Blackberry Bridge - You know it's like RIM got backed into a corner on this one, but you know, I think this is the most secure way to operate a tablet, I love how when I turn off bluetooth on my bold, my personal and private information is removed and I can pass it to friends and family without my personal communications being looked into, with the other tablets, it's pretty hard to have different people on them, without probably creating different profiles, with the Playbook, you could share it between a team and it would seamlessly operate between them.
5. True Multitasking - You know, you can play music, whilst playing a game and you can switch between applications, this funtions pretty awesome. I put on some cool music and loaded up a game on the device and someone whom had an Apple device was sincerely impressed he could listen to music whilst reading or playing games etc. This could also enhance Business Presentations that require audio in the background whilst displaying and going through different information / files or charts.
6. QNX OS - I mean wow Blackberry, this Operating System is fantastic, I love it, this was an EXCELLENT choice and this I will give you 5 stars on, I can't wait to see what QNX can do on the Blackberry and I would not be surprised if the QNX OS became a major OS against the others, it definitely is polished and apps just install and are ready to go in no time.
RIM has been ahead of the game and because of it's great name with-in business circles they have almost sold themselves and whilst it's nice to see that RIM has sold over 250,000 units with-in the first week this could have been drastically improved by realizing when getting into a NEW market, they need to do the proper marketing and get the devices out there with subject matter experts to educate people whom are checking them out so they can share that information with their friends.
Google paid a very large price with their Nexus One because they where over-confident and thought they would sell based on their name alone, this could have been a learning curve RIM did not have to deal with. There are actually other nice things about the Playbook, the apps that are in their app store are pretty cool and when Android apps are available it will be cooler.
I like the size of the tablet I can comfortably reach accross the screen to hit all the keys on the digital keyboard making it any larger and I couldn't hold it in my hands with the same comfort; copping out to apple fan boys thinking they must have a 10.1" tablet is not necessary, this is the perfect size to sit in your hands, some people think they are small but if they actually watch a movie or play a game on it or look at websites by "Playing with it themselves" they will react differently and actually suggest if your going to do a 10.1" tablet, also keep the smaller sized one as well.
Suggestions :
- Working on building in more extensions for gaming such as Unity so that games like battlestar galactica online etc could be played online and directions could be replaced by using the gyroscope.
- Hire more people if you are having problems meeting deadlines, these companies, including Apple are taking risks to win the market, if your going to take a swing at your competitors, please make it a punch and not a jab, the biggest thing you still have on your side is the market you already had and the market share you have been losing and since we all upgrade our devices so often at this time, come out with something special and we will continue to support you. Okay now that I have that off my chest I feel better. DAMMIT !

HI John,
So you've tried emptying the Safari cache cleared cookies???
According to that link they are referring to *an older version of Safari (3).*
Go back to that page, scroll down and click No. You can at least provide feedback.
Since you are running Snow Leopard, try opening Safari in 32-bit mode.
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode.
Relaunch Safari. See if that makes a difference.

USING BLACKBERRY 7290 AS MODEM FOR MACBOOK

I have been told this is possible. I have been on numerous boards with no help. I have been on PocketMac.com and downloaded the version to sync via usb. I need to find a way to use my 7290 as a modem for my Macbook. I have the new MacBook with Intel Core 2 duo and Mac OSX. Anyone out thereknow how this can be done? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

A Blackberry 8703e is a Sprint device, so you'll have to resolve the issue with Sprint.
Sprint fields what they term the Sprint PCS Business Connection. You'll need that option if it is not already part of your subscription plan, and you'll need to tether a laptop through your Blackberry 8703e and your carrier via USB. Bluetooth connections via DUN are not supported. To enable a connection, Sprint states that you'll need the Sprint Connection Kit, which you find for several different operating systems—including Mac OS X—here:
http://www4.sprint.com/pcsbusiness/support/downloads/index.jsp?internalId=downlo ads
Except that, I wasn't able to locate a package for your Blackberry when I looked there: only packages for Sprint's PC data cards seemed to be available. So, you must perform the recursive loop at this point, and contact Sprint.
I don't believe that anyone but Sprint will be able to resolve the issue for you. You certainly cannot do it without enabling the data option, which only they can activate.

Blackberry a modem for a laptop

I have my blackberry set up as a modem for my laptop & it works. But I can't access my email. My OS is Vista. Does someone know if there is a special thing that needs to be done?

Check your carrier's webpages for the Blackberry stuff. They should have links to specific software for various connections between Laptops, OS's, etc... I came across mine for AT&T today while poking around. You should have an account for your wireless account that you can check.
hmmm, don't know how I wound up in the business section but check the Communication Manager-
