By using Bluetooth wireless technology to connect a BlackBerry smartphone to BlackBerry Desktop Manager, all data is routed through the Bluetooth port, which bypasses the wireless network. This feature reduces wireless network usage and allows BlackBerry smartphone users who are located in areas of insufficient network coverage to synchronize data and reconcile email messages.
To set up a Bluetooth connection, you must complete the following tasks:
To set up a Bluetooth connection, you must meet the following system requirements:
Your computer must be running the Bluetooth software that comes with Windows XP or Windows Vista (see Task 2).
Your computer must be running BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.1 or later.

BerryDialer: Use multiple calling cards on your BlackBerry With the cost of international phone calls through Skype and other VOIP providers so low,
I’m not sure why someone would ever choose to use a calling card, but I guess if you’re
on the go and don’t have a laptop, then a calling card makes sense. If you’re one of
those people, you absolutely must check out the BerryDialer program, available from
mobilesoftmarket.com, which gives you the ability to enter one or more
calling card numbers into your BlackBerry and then not have to enter them again.
If you’ve got a young kid, you’ve probably got a video camera for capturing
all the seemingly normal stuff that we can do as adults but that is just plain
amazing when a one year old does it. Thing is, most people don’t carry about
portable DVD players to show off all the new stuff that the kid… but you have
a BlackBerry. If you’ve ever wanted to show a movie on your BlackBerry that
you’ve got on a DVD (or more likely: you want to show off some internal presentation
to a client or you’re a real estate agent and you want to show a potential buyer a video), then I’ve got some
software you should check out.
Wondershare BlackBerry Converter Suite includes Wondershare DVD to BlackBerry
Converter and Wondershare Video Converter for BlackBerry. With this software,
you can convert DVD or video to AVI, 3GP, MP4,WMV,MP3,AAC and WMA for playback
on BlackBerry with with high output quality and fast conversion speed.
You can convert your DVD by selecting the subtitle and audio track you prefer,
convert multiple video files at a time, trim your DVD and video files to
capture your favorite video clips, crop movie video, set movie effects,
and capture pictures from your movies and so on.
The software converts your videos to AVI, 3GP, MP4,WMV,MP3,AAC and WMA
(all of which are supported on the BlackBerry) and you can merge
DVD titles/chapters into one file and merge multiple video files
into one file. It also supports video cropping and trimming.
Good news for users of wireless Palm devices: RIM announced today that they will be releasing BlackBerry Connect software for existing Palm OS-based wireless devices, like the Palm Tungsten W pictured to the left. This announcement is another adjustment of the ship that points to RIM understanding that their business is not about handsets; it’s the platform. The Tungsten (not to mention the Treo) had all the features except for always-on Blackberry email plus it offered expandability, infrared, a built-in camera (in the case of the Treo) and a stylus for those that prefer point and click. In short, the only reason you’d want to carry around a Blackberry 7200 series instead of a Treo would be the push email that the Blackberry offered. No more.
The Black-gmail-berries are ripe this time of year in New England. To harvest them you’ll need a Gmail account with the new POP feature (you did know that Gmail comes with free POP access now right?), a Blackberry web client (I’m using the AT&T Wireless Blackberry Web Click at attwireless.com/blackberrystart/) and a Blackberry. Setup is simple. Login to your Gmail account. Click Settings –> Forwarding and POP –> Enable POP and then click ‘Save Changes’. Then login to your Blackberry Web Client, click on ‘Profile’ in the upper navigation and then click the ‘other email accounts’ link under the Email Accounts header. Click the ‘Add Account’ button and then enter your enter Gmail email address for both the ‘Email Address’ field and the ‘User Name’ field. Pop in your password, click the submit button and you should be eating Black-gmail-berries in no time.
In all seriousness, I’m even more impressed with Gmail after this experience. They roll out 1GB email. For free. And then people say they all really want POP access to their email. For free. Which really cuts into the Adwords revenue I’m sure. So not only does Google roll out POP access *for free*, but they do it so that if something is automatically labeled as spam by Gmail, it doesn’t get put in the POP queue. It sits nicely in the web-based console waiting for me to come and delete it when I want to. And they didn’t do by making forcing all the emails to be bulky HTML beasts full of their own ads. No, they realize that people don’t want to see ads on handhelds and in Eudora or whatever they’re email client of choice is, so they don’t put it there. Bravo Google! Bravo Gmail!

As the BlackBerry smartphone gains market share, software developers are increasingly wondering if they should be writing or porting applications to run on the BlackBerry platform. It’s not a decision to be taken lightly because there are significant investments in time and effort in writing software for any mobile platform. And the BlackBerry platform is very different from the other platforms. Here’s a quick rundown on what you need to know before creating BlackBerry applications.
BlackBerry software is written in Java. Java is the only choice for non-browser application development. You can’t write applications in C or C++, so don’t even bother going there. (The very earliest models of the BlackBerry supported C/C++, but the platform switched to Java exclusively several years ago.)
The Java is Java ME. The BlackBerry’s Java support is for Java ME (Micro Edition), the stripped-down version of Java designed for mobile phones and other constrained devices. The language is the same (most features are supported) but the class libraries are vastly different — mostly because they’re much smaller. This makes porting code a challenge.
But it’s also BlackBerry-specific. The Java ME class library is small, so the BlackBerry augments it with a number of device-specific APIs, including the graphical user interface APIs. You need to learn these APIs to write “real” BlackBerry applications.
You need to test on real devices. This shouldn’t be any surprise to anyone who’s done mobile application development before, but it’s even truer on the BlackBerry platform. The BlackBerry simulator can easily give you a false sense of security when testing your application features, especially the networking aspects. There’s nothing like testing it on a real device. Preferably, several real devices.
BlackBerry infrastructure is complex. BlackBerry programming isn’t just about understanding Java and the BlackBerry APIs, it’s also about understanding the entire BlackBerry infrastructure, from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) to the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) and everything in between.
The reality is that BlackBerry programming is a specialization that is developed over time. It’s not nearly as simple as it seems at first, as many developers have discovered to their dismay.
Oracle, BES, Citrix, HP iLO, Backup Exec, VMware and RSA from your BlackBerry- decreasing costly network downtime, and accelerating response intervals. Mobile Admin’s fast graphical interface allows you to perform high-demand tasks such as: reset Passwords. unlock accounts, create users or…

BlackBerry’s are sold by many wireless providers across the globe, including AT&T/Cingular, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
When these companies sell a BlackBerry, they do so at a discount in order to attract customers. The providers then make up the lost profits over the lifetime of the contract signed by the customer.
To protect those profits, the wireless providers configure a “subsidy lock” into each BlackBerry. The subsidy lock prevents the BlackBerry from being used on another provider’s network.
BlackBerry Unlocking
There are four known methods for removing the subsidy code and unlocking the BlackBerry.
Call Your Wireless Carrier
Many wireless carriers will tell you your unlock code if you meet their requirements. These requirements normally include being a customer for a minimum amount of time and having your account paid up.
Most wireless providers do not charge for this service. Rogers is a significant exception, as they attempt to extort $250 from their customers for this service.
Calculating the Unlock Code from the IMEI
Most providers use unlock codes which are generated from the BlackBerry’s IMEI number.
You install this software on your PC and plug your BlackBerry into its docking cradle or into a USB sync cable.
BlackBerry Unlocking Hardware
If all else fails, there is specialized hardware which will force your BlackBerry to forget it’s unlock code.
This hardware usually takes the form of a clip or a box. You plug your device into your BlackBerry and it erases the subsidy lock.
You can purchase these devices yourself, but usually it is less expensive to either take your phone into a local shop or send it off to a specialist company.
I’ve never believe on programs claiming to increase your Blackberry’s speed without any lost on stability. But I do believe on doing an old fashion soft reset to get it back to its natural speed. There are two ways to do a soft reset, a battery pull ( realy hard if your using a protective case ) and using CTRL+ALT(use right button)+DEL. Sadly ctrl+alt=del doesn’t work on the blackberry pearl.
Here’s a free reset software you can use on your blackberry regardless on what version you are using.
QuickPull
Simply run Quickpull and will prompt you to let it do a soft reset.
