Yes, you just basically buy the product and it will be downloadable to you afterwards along with installation instructions. It's so easy and works perfectly.

hey guys i received my phone. and it's working perefect as i expected. hey Alizawi anyluck in your search for the phone. my offer is still there.

[Alizawi]

That's good news Godzilla! Did you get it good to go, or did u have to make some modifications? I know that for the 9550 u need to play with some extra settings as opposed to the 9520... I forgot, where u on STC??

As for my search, I know that I can get it by monday...but I wont be sure until I c that damn thing in front of me! what date can u have it here? how long did it take to reach here through ur ebay seller? I'm leaving the country for a couple of weeks on dec. 20th, so I'm hoping to have it and try it out for a few days before i leave

[Godzilla007]

yes i'm on STC, the phone is working perfect without any modifications ..... just from the Netwrok Options u choose the Network Technology to be GSM. my friend will be here next thursday.

[Alizawi]

alright...if i let u know by monday, would that be ok?? where r u from btw?

[Godzilla007]

monday is ok ..... i'm frm egypt ??

Allriighhtttt, now you can enjoy this awesome phone Godzilla. All the best.

BTW, did you get the hotspot browser to work and how? I don't know why my Browser icon disappears and replaced by Jawalnet WAP browser. I cannot change the Default Browser configuration to Hotspot instead of Aljawal when connecting to Wifi.

[Godzilla007]

hey ..... i still have both icons om the home screen ..... and yeah i tested the hotspot browser and its OK
try to go to Options> Advanced Options> Browser then change your default browser from there.
one thing i used to do in the 8900 but still i didn't try it in the storm i used to shutdown the GSM network so automatic it send and receive everything from the WiFi
try it and good luck.

[Alizawi]

what is the hotspot browser? is that the BB internet explorer, or something different?
btw, godzilla, did u have to deal with the whole activation required stuff I keep reading on other threads? I'm gonna find out tomorrow if these guys are gonna have my phone

[Alizawi]

OK!! just got my 9550...godzilla i need ur help....i got everything set, even got BB service and STC sent the msg saying its running and all...NOW..what i can c is the the BIS is not connected...my status says connected and mobile network is OK,,, what is missing?

[muratcolakoglu]

Did you try battery pull reset?

[Alizawi]

not yet! i assumed it might be a little too soon....but before that...my browser was showing, and when i tried to open a website that this was a wi-fi funtion or something....now, the broswer is GONE! i'll try batter pull, but i dont know if that will change my BIS status to connected

congrats Alizawi ..... don't worry about this BIS not connected cause this is normal from STC, just make sure that u have 3G or EDGE or GPRS in capital and not 3g or edge or gprs in small. to make sure go to SETUP> Email Settings
then add ur Hotmail or Gmail accounts to start receiving the mails and try the BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), u can add me if u want u'll find my PIN in my details. enjoy the phone and let me know if u need anything. btw from where did u get it cause i have a friend how need to get one as a gift for his wife and for how much. and he's not in buying something from the internet. i tried to convince him but no luck.

[Alizawi]

thanks godzilla...everything is working perfectly...i was up till 4 am working on this baby...getting contacts transferred was a hassle, but all done...
I got it from mamdouh...it's made in canada...they're selling for 2800...he gets like 1-3 new ones every weeek or so...if u go to king fahad road and ask about him, he's well known...his shop is accross from the official mobily store on 13th intersection...msg me if u want his cell number

[Godzilla007]

its good to hear that everything is working fine with u....... enjoy the phone.
