Anyone on this forum with experience with the new Treo 750v, especially on the Cingular network?

Mine is enroute and should be here tomorrow and on Engadget, someone got a 750v working with BBConnect on Cingular already?

I've got the software downloaded but if anyone here has any tips they can offer it's much appreciated.

Otherwise I'm also proud to take one for the team and try it and see what happens.

Hi
I got a treo on the weekend and took a few days to install the bb connect. my experiences are limited as I am pretty busy at work and dont have the confidence to switch over yet. But here are my impressions:

1. we have notes 6.5 at work and easysync 4.2.2 does not sync with the treo 750v (part of the reason i dont have the switch)
2. making the connection was straightforward and it works
3. i could sync my inbox with no real problems. It sees sub folders but I could not retrieve it
4. You can only sort emails by 'received' not by sent, so the order was a bit mixed up as the first sync receives all the emails at the same time
5. It seems to have difficulty to reconciling mail if you read it on one device and not the other
6. It does not allow for deleting off the computer from the handheld
7. didnt play enough with the calendar to get a feel for how good it is

this is it so far. i definitely am not finding it as 'smooth' as the blackberry itself. i am going to try and get it to work properly over the weekend, but so far not overly impressed (bubble burst?).

Also, i do not like how the fact that the web browser does not share the same internet connection. Which means that if you are browsing, I dont think your mail is being reconciled, which i find frustrating (typical MS). i cant find a way to ensure the same connection is shared.

treo plus bb vs bb 8700 - jury is still out, i am afraid.

btw, i think there may be a case of the RTM. will share more when i get to play with it more...

Thanks for the link to the software.

Is it possible to use the BB Connect for the 750v with BIS instead of Enterprise Activation? It seems to only install the software by choosing Exchange or Domino implementations.

This can be done.

I pick this out from the manual pg31. Go to today screen> Select Blackbery account>Select Services tab>Select Blackberry [CMIME]>Select Syncronisation tab>Select the delete on box and chose Mailbox and Handheld>then press ok.

YOu are all set.

Personally, i find the this treo blackberry better than the others on the Nokia and also the Treo 650. It looks neater and let you know whether the email is attention to you or cc just like blackberry. For the others whether the mail is attention or cc to you is not displayed so have to check the address field.

Looks like quite a clean implementation. Oh ya it also allow you to decide how many days worth of mail to keep, i guess to keep the memory usage more effiecient. At default it is set to 3. This can be found in the Blackberry Inbox>Menu>Delivery Preference.

You can also delete junk mail using the scroll bar without tapping on the screen. All you need to do is hold down the centre button. A list of menu pops out>select delete and you are done. pretty convinient IMHO as they have preset the delete to be the first one. Yet to figure out how to do multiple select without taking out stylus though

Where are you guys getting your 750v's from? I haven't been able to find it for under $750, ouch too pricey right now. Would love to pick one up for less than $500

[kmccarthy]

Has anyone figured out if this works with BIS?

Not me! And I can't even get it to check POP3 e-mail correctly as I can't get the correct data connection to Cingular - the auto setup on my SIM is for a proxy server on ATT network as my SIM is an old AT&T Wireless one from the old days.

I've tried both wap.cingular and isp.cingular and neither seems to connect.

If anyone can help with the correct GPRS settings to get my 750v to even retrieve e-mail correct it would be much appreciated!

wap.cingular.com should work.

Got 750v working with BBConnect on Rogers with a BIS account.

One question I have is, everytime I need to surf the net, the device has to disconnect from Blackberry APN and connect to internet.com. Is this the only way?

if you have a blue sim, wap or isp.cingular wont work. you would need to adjust the media net profile that accesses the web to proxy and just ditch the username and password as the proxy apn doesnt use a UN and PW



i have been using my blue sim in the 750 for about a month on the cingular network using the proxy apn. works fine

just remember

orange sims use= wap and isp.cingular apns.
blue sim uses= proxy apn

You need to install ActiveSync on the computer that you're going to run the Blackberry Desktop Software.

just got mu 750 working with m company BES using Telcel carrier in Mexico, but I can only "see" my unread messages in the treo, how can I "see" the read mesages??
