How to Use your BlackBerry Pearl as a Bluetooth Modem under OS X

By: Grant Goodale

In the long tradition of only writing software when it solves something that annoys me, I've written an OS X modem script for the BlackBerry 8100 (a.k.a. Pearl). If you have an 8100, you can now use it as a Bluetooth modem with your Mac. Here's how you use it:

1. Download the script here. Please Right-Click and Choose 'Save As'.
2. Copy the script into /Library/Modem Scripts.
3. If you've already paired your Pearl with your Mac, open Bluetooth Preferences, Select your Pearl from the list of devices and press 'Configure...'. (If you haven't, choose 'Set up Bluetooth Device' - the following dialogs will be shown after you've paired your phone with your Mac. Make sure your Pearl doesn't require a password for your mac to connect to it - the 'Trusted Connection' option for the pairing should be set to 'Yes' on your phone, not 'Ask'.)
4. Make sure 'Access the Internet with your phone's data connection' is checked. Also, make sure 'Use a direct, higher speed connection' is selected. Click Continue.
5. In the Modem Script pulldown on the following screen, Select 'BlackBerry 8100'. Use the following settings for the other fields, then click Continue:

• Username, Password: leave blank
• GPRS CID: *99***1#

6. Open the Internet Connect application. Select the Bluetooth icon at the top. Under Phone Number, put your APN (for T-Mobile and the BlackBerry Unlimited plan, I use wap.voicestream.com, for Cingular it's "wap.cingular"). Type a username and password (I use guest/guest, for Cingular you'll use "WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM" as the username and "CINGULAR1" as the password) in the appropriate fields.

That's it! Let me know if it works for you. I don't believe my settings are getting the most out of the device's EDGE support, so I'll be tweaking as I learn more. Credit to Ross Barkman and Tim Hatch for the original scripts I tweaked to make it work.

Nokia battles Blackberry

by Leila Makki

Nokia is joining forces with Microsoft in an effort to take market share away from Research in Motion.

The Finnish mobile phone firm signed a deal with the software giant to expand corporate e-mail access to Nokia handsets

The world's top handset maker said it will enable access to Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync e-mail from nearly 80 million phones that use Nokia's latest edition of S60 software.

The collaboration will see 43 different Nokia devices using the mobile email application, making it the largest device range to enable the solution. The costs of mobility are contained, said Anssi Vanjoki, EVP at Nokia, as there is a "strong possibility that a large number of employees already have one or more of the 43 Nokia devices that enable Exchange ActiveSync."

As Nokia goes head to head with Blackberry, Research in Motion, makers of the push-email device, have begun to make devices that resemble consumer phones, as today, RIM introduced its first BlackBerry phone in flip format.

“The introduction of this exciting new flip phone will help extend the reach of the BlackBerry platform even further,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO, Research In Motion. The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 smartphone allows users to send messages, make calls, view websites, take pictures, listen to MP3 and view online video.

It seems that, RIM is also following in Nokia's footsteps as the Canadian firm also annouced a deal with AOL to bring AOL Mail, Instant Messenger and ICQ Services to users of the Blackberry.

According to a recent report from Gartner, Nokia, is currently the smart phone leader, having sold over 15 million devices, giving it a market share of nearly 48 per cent. Meanwhile, Research In Motion sold 5.6 million devices, holding a market share of 17.4 per cent.

Gartner said Nokia took a hit from increased competition in the consumer smart phone market, especially from Apple's iPhone. "To stay competitive, Nokia will need to introduce more design variations amongst its NSeries models and keep innovating," Gartner principal analyst Roberta Cozza said in a statement. "The expected introduction of a touch-screen smart phone in the second half of 2008 will test the company's capability to show differentiation and innovation."

However, Cozza said RIM, which had an increase of 126 per cent year-on-year to nearly double its market share, continued to execute well and increase its reach at the consumer level.

How To use BlackBerry Desktop Manager

By Al Sacco – IT World

The seemingly never-ending supply of great software applications, themes and games available for your BlackBerry won't do you a whole lot of good if you don't know how to install them. This BlackBerry Tip of the Week details how to use the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software that Research In Motion (RIM) ships with all new BlackBerry devices to install new programs, as well as update those apps already on your smartphone.

We've already covered some of the basics of BlackBerry Desktop Manager in past tips, including how to use the program to backup and restore handheld data, add media files to your BlackBerry and determine the amount of memory you're using at any given time.

Many applications, games and other BlackBerry software can be downloaded over the air (OTA) directly to your device, but in some cases you'll need to use BlackBerry Desktop Manager, a PC and a compatible USB connector cord when OTA downloads aren't available; unfortunately Mac users are out of luck, as Desktop Manager's only for PCs.

BlackBerry users without unlimited data plans can also save on their monthly data usage by downloading apps to their PCs and then transferring them to BlackBerrys.

Pick Up Latest Version of RIM BlackBerry Desktop Manager

Before you start updating or installing new applications on your BlackBerry, you'll want to ensure that you're running the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager. If you don't already have the software on your PC, you can pick it up from the download section of RIM's website.

If you've got Desktop Manager but are unsure of the version you're using, open the program, click the Help icon and choose About BlackBerry Desktop Manager. A dialogue box will appear to tell you which version you're running. Next, surf over on over to RIM's download page, verify you've got the latest version of the software and download and install it if not.

Updating BlackBerry Applications Via RIM Desktop Manager

Depending on when you first downloaded and installed the existing applications on your BlackBerry smartphone, or when they were installed before your device was shipped, there may be updates available.

If you're using the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager--at the time that this article was written, the latest version available on RIM's site is 4.5--the software will automatically search for updates as soon as you open the program and connect your device.

If you want to search for updates manually, simply open the Application Loader component of Desktop Manager and on the right side of the following screen, beneath the words "Update Applications," click Start. The program will then check your BlackBerry for device configuration and attempt to locate any updates. If any are available, they'll be listed on the following

screen. To install the updates, click the Next box and follow the directions. The update process can take a while, so don't fret if it's been 10 minutes or so and nothing appears to be happening. (Note: Desktop Manager may not find available updates to third-party applications, so the best way to ensure that all of your apps are update is to occasionally check the software vendors' websites.)

Installing New BlackBerry Software Using RIM Desktop Manager

As mentioned above, you'll need your BlackBerry, an Internet-connected PC and a compatible USB charging cable to install new mobile software using RIM's Desktop Manager.

To start, you should download and save the new software you wish to install on your BlackBerry to your PC's hard drive. The application, be it a game, theme or otherwise, will likely come in a "zipped," or archived, file, so you'll need to unpack its contents using a program like BitZipper or WinRAR, both of which are available for free trial. Save the contents of the zipped file in another folder on your hard drive. Within the new folder, you should see two different files, one with the extension ".cod" and another with an ".alx" extension. The zipped software may also include a text file with installation instruction or something of the like.

After unzipping your software, launch Desktop Manager and connect the BlackBerry to your PC using the USB cable. When Desktop Manager recognizes your device--the status bar at the bottom of the screen will say "Connected" and list your smartphone PIN--you should open the Application Loader. On the left side of the screen, beneath the words "Add/Remove Applications" click Start.

After searching for your device configuration, Desktop Manager will then display a list of all the software currently on your BlackBerry. From there, you should click the Browse button, to locate the new software you wish to install. Navigate to the file with the unpacked contents of your zipped file, select the ".alx" file and choose Open. Then you'll be returned to the screen that displays all the software on your device, but this time around, you'll find the new software within that list. Make sure the checkbox next to the new software is filled, and then hit Next.

The following screen shows a list of the files being added or removed, and if the information is accurate, hit Finish and the installation process begins. Again, don't worry if it seems to be taking a long time and Desktop Manager says only "Connecting to Device." It can take a number of minutes to install the new software. When the process is done, a new screen will appear that says "Update Complete: The Loading Operation Was Successful."

Finally, you should launch the application, enter in an activation code, if necessary--purchased software often requires such an unlock code--and you're all set.

Removing BlackBerry Software With RIM Desktop Manager

Getting rid of applications on your device using Desktop Manager is very similar to adding software.

First, you'll need to once again connect your device and PC via USB cable and then launch Desktop Manager. Open up the Application Loader, choose Add/Remove Applications and then scroll through the list of software until you find the ones you want to remove. Uncheck the boxes next to those applications and click Next.

Again, you'll see a list of the applications you're about to remove. If the list is correct, hit Finish and say goodbye to the selected software. Be patient, though; like the application addition process, removal can take some time.
