...So what do i need to do once i get it as far as settings for Tmobile? Do I have to configure my text service or anything else? thanks

[chris716]

just put your sim card in like you would if you had tmobile blackberry make sure you have blackberry data plan and your ready to go thats all

Just a little more than that:

Go to Options > Advanaced Options > TCP

then for APN enter wap.voicestream.com

Leave the username and password blank.

Have you switched devices on the T-Mobile BIS yet from your Pearl to the 8800?

No, I haven't. How do I do that? With the device switch wizard on the desktop software?

[kasperapd]

Use that to switch all your contacts and other data over to the 8800.

As far as registering the 8800 on T-Mobile BIS, you can use their website, or what I find to be easiest when I switch, is to go to Setup Internet Email icon on the Blackberry itself. Click on that link, and it should ask if you want to switch devices. Say yes and you'll be good to go.

Nope. TMO provisions your SMS. Your service books handle all configuration. You may need to enter the TCP settings above for certain third party apps...

i've had my 8800 for almost two weeks now thru tmobile and now just learned about the apn number lol..also, i cant get bbweather to work for me, i dont know why

and one last thing, does the xm streaming having to be through cingular only? or can i dot it also even though i'm with tmobile


thanks

[kasperapd]

If you do a search for BBWeather you should find several threads that can help you. As far as the XM on T-Mobile... I don't think it will work right now becuase the monthly fee seems to be billed directly from the carrier, and T-Mobile doesn't support XM right now.
