Mine has worked fine, no problems with it at all.

[yunone]

any chance this will let me select other languages when using telenav?

for example...using the att OS and TN i only can select US english language.

will this allow for me to switch languages in TN?

thanks in advance

[NCBuckeye]

I think that would have to do with your telenav set up.

4.2.2.184 released for the 8310

[carrera]

Am I right that the release postet in the first post on this thread is the latest release which includes German language?

I want to install it on an German Vodafone branded 8310, should I expect any problems?
I bought my new BlackBerry from a private peron so I would like to completely erase the devicde bevor I use it, how to do this?

thanks

Hey,

I have a 8310 I bought unlocked online. I am using Unicel which is a GSM provider in my area... I am having issues with the phone not being able to run because it doesn't have the correct service books. I know the phone was unlocked from ATT which makes me wonder if this is why. I tryed the OS install on this forum and it did no good to help me. Can I reflash the OS to a standard Blackberry? Is there some way I can program the Blackberry so it will work with my provider???

HELP!! I am new at this phone thing...

Thanks

welcome to the forums. have the carrier resend you the service books. those are provided by the carrier via the SIM card in this case.

[John Clark]

What is not working? With Unicel you will not get any blackberry services. You can enter Unicel's apn into the TCP settings and get Opera Mini to work, but that's about it.

I have Unicel on a couple of unlocked Pearls but there is no BB service since Unicel doesn't offer Blackberry Data plans. Unicel can't push service books to your device like other carriers (with bb data plans) can.

[jd101506]

well I did enter the apn, and Opera Mini won't even work....

Nothing works. lol

They don't require a user or pass so it's completely open source.

My internet isn't working, my email is trying to access through enterprise server but I can't receive anything from them... I have yet to receive the SMS or MMS message that has any of the service books I sent... Any suggestions?

[John Clark]

You can't get any email using Unicel. You can use the gmail app if you have gmail but you can do nothing with BES/BIS for email. I have gotten Opera and the gmail app working on my Unicel accounts but that's it.

Under TCP make sure you have the following:

apn:apn.unicel.com
Username
Password

leave username and password blank.

Again, you will not get any Blackberry service with this, though. If you need to connect to your BES then you need another service like AT&T or TMobile, etc.

[Sith_Apprentice]

if you dont have a BB enterprise plan, your BB wont do anything on push email or BES. your internet will only work via a third party app, like opera. SMS should work, as its voice, and MMS wont work without SOME kind of data plan

[jd101506]

Well is it possible to get yahoo go??

All I really need is that app because it can look up all the stuff I need online. Opera Mini wouldn't be bad either. Is there some settings I need to put in place??

I have unlimited data streaming and texting on Unicel by the way!

[John Clark]

You can't download applications OTA (over-the-air) so it will be difficult to load Yahoo Go. In order to download OTA you need the OEM browser and without a BB data plan you won't ever get one. You can install it using Desktop Manager if you have the .cod's and .alx files for it.

I just gave you the settings you'll need for TCP data (gprs/edge data) on Unicel. That's all you can do.

I've had BB's on Unicel for quite some time. Believe me, if there was anything more you could do, I'd have done it.

[jd101506]

Alright

So there really isn't a way to open the Curve up to the full potential on Unicel...

I'm thinking about ditching it for something that I can actually use on the network... This is ridiculous to have a high end smartphone and lacking the network support for it.

There isn't a way to reflash the OS?

Like, so it will detect and I can run the regular browser??

I know this was already covered I'm sure... I'm a Noob.

[John Clark]

I've already covered it here for you! There is NO way to get an OEM browser with the device on Unicel. Unicel does NOT offer Blackberry service.

As I said, I've successfully gotten the Gmail app to work and Opera Mini to work. That is all. No OEM browser. No push email. Can't be done until Unicel offers the BB data plan. I can't make this any more straight forward.

[jd101506]

One more question for you.

sick of me yet?

Would a Iphone's capability work on Unicel? Any other smart phones that will work as a alternative the the Blackberry???

I heard that a unlocked iPhone will work on the Unicel service, and will have all the features working. Is that true?

Thanks

[John Clark]

I think so, with exception of the Visual voice mail.

[jd101506]

Alright.

Well I guess I may have to look into other phone alternatives if I stick with Unicel. Kind of have to because its about the only GSM provider in my area. Do you have any phone alternative suggestions?? iPhone? HTC?

Thanks for all your help.

[John Clark]

One more bit of Unicel info. Verizon purchased Unicel last year with plans to switch everyone back to CDMA this spring. I haven't heard any more about it for a while but that's supposed to be the process. You may be forced into CDMA anyway.

[jd101506]

Yeah.

I talked to Unicel today actually. I asked them about the Curve and about Verizon buying them. Apparently, *from what the Unicel guy told me* Verizon is buying Unicel, but selling out the towers to Cingular/ATT. They are planning on keeping the GSM towers open in VT at least. Thats what he told me. I am hoping he's correct... I really don't want to deal with phone switching again... lol
