Yes I have an older Blackberry R900M-2-PW Model, and I would like to find some software for it. Does anyone know where I can get this software, since blackberry does not have it avaible. And is their any way that I can do a complete delete, of all files, and numbers stored in my blackberry, it was bought off e-bay, and gave to me buy a friend, and I want to remove all the data, that was left on it. I also have the docking station, that plugs into the serial port, but no external charger.
Thanks for any help & tricks, or tips.

Wow... Older is a good choice of words.

The software for it is available on the BlackBerry web site.

It is v2.7. You will also need Desktop Manager from the same BlackBerry.Com web site.

The R900M does not need a mobile charger, since it uses one "AA" battery. No charging at all. Just replace the battery.

You are going to need a program called "Programmer.EXE" and use that to delete all of the data and programs.

Not sure where you can find programmer.exe

Oh wow! Just looked that model up. That thing looks like a texas instruments calculator. How old is that model?

Holy crap... these still work? =)

The Mobitex/Datatac networks have to be going EOL soon..

NJBlackBerry · 12-11-2006, 12:06 PM

I've been saying that for year (EOL on the networks) but we still have a lot of 957s around - they are indestructible.

Wow those are old school... I remember seeing those when they first came out. I think my dad had one of the 9xx models. Looked like an oversized pager with QWERTY.
