We have 8707V on vodaphone UK on BIS.
Third party applications such as:
BBtoday
BB weather etc fail to work on the 8707V.
I assume this is because the TCP/IP stack issue.
See BB website link:
Livelink - Redirection

So in principle.. should we really settle for the 8707V when clearly it lacks for what I can see a vital part of what a BB should do?

Also. I notice we do not have the facilty for MMS messeges, although it claims to within the instruction manual.

When I talked to Vodaphone over these matters, they refered me to Blackberry as they couldn't answer the questions. Any ideas?

Vodafone UK know perfectly well that their 8707V does not receive the necessary service book for MMS
I am still waiting for them to tell me why
However, all the evidence points to it being Vodafone itself that has given instructions to RIM that the service book should not be provisioned to the 8707v
After all, I can't see any reason for RIM to make that decision.
My high(ish) level contact at Voda has yet to get an explanation from inside the company!
What would be really interesting is explanation from Vodafone as to why they continue to sell a product described as having MMS capability when at best they know the feature is not available, and, at worst, they themselves have made sure it's not!
