Anyone got a Blackberry Curve 8900?

[H4ss4n]

Just got my O2 8900 unlocked so now I've got my Orange sim working in it. Just got a couple of questions i've never used a Blackberry before:

I can I setup my Talk21 email? When trying the 'Email Setup Wizard' I only get the option to setup a work email and it asks for a Blackberry Enterprise password.

What's this Blackberry PIN? Is it used to talk to other Blackberrys?

Thanks.

activate blackberry service on your orange plan (payg / paym both five quid)

go to www.blackberry.orange.co.uk and fill in your pin and imei and set up a blackberry account

Thanks for the info Arvin.

When I try to setup the Blackberry account with the above link I get the error:

The phone was originally on O2 and never activated. Any ideas how I can setup an account with Orange?

not sure if you can forward your mails to your mobile with orange,you can with o2 so I got blackberry email,o2 ( house ) email and hotmail too

you HAVE to get a blackberry service activated on your sim card (five quid), have you called and asked for it to be added? when you have done that it should be simple,

Once youve done that go to

blackberry.orange.co.uk if that doesnt work go to

http://www.o2email.co.uk/

register pin and imei and its just type in your new email login and add your current email. none of this can be done without the blackberry internet solutions activated on your plan

i am on orange and can get emails from any email box i want. by the looks of that it does not like your unlocking of your handset.
have a fiddle with the settings.

you can talk to other blackberrys you just need to add their email address within the blackberry messenger and away you go.

There no difference between networks with blackberrys, they can receive any email account and forward it to the phone, they can do blackberry messenger which is like an instant messenger between users of blackberrys worldwide.

Its not the settings, you just need to activate the blackberry service on the account, you cant get it for free, then go to the websites or call 156 from your orange phone for data support.
