Does 7100t have ability to run 3rd party IM software?
 

Trying to do some research about 7100 capabilities...

Has anyone tried WebMessenger or IM+ on the 7100t? Does it function properly on the 7100?

People who use other BlackBerries seem to think WebMessenger is better, because of:
- Better always-on reliability. (lots of reports of problems with 7100t IM)
- Fully configurable sound/vibrate alerts.
- Ability to configure it so you can just hit Enter to send messages.

This will help answer whether the 7100t support socket connections too;

Make sure you've got your Options->TCP configured with the T-Mobile compatible APN

Mark, speaking of the TCP options... is there some way to figure out what the values for that should be? I have a TMO and AWS 72xx devices I use regularly with 4OS and would like to know if it makes a difference if they have values entered in them.

If nobody else can/will, I will do so Mark.

I am just loathe to hook my 7100t to my BES/MDS.

Someone may have to remind me.

From what I can tell, the 7100t already has the IPPP for BIBS, which means you can run TCP/IP software without BES/MDS.

Anybody who has currently tried this out?

Yes, from what I have heard people have run webmessenger and IM+ on the 7100T

I saw it in action today, webmessenger working great on the 7100t!

emale,
Was that BlackBerry 7100 with or without BES (for MDS)?

without.. no need for BES

The person was ON a BES
