How to get Windows Live messenger on your BlackBerry (if you don’t see the icon)

By James on Jul 13, 2008 in BlackBerry, Software, Tips n' Tricks.

So in case you didn't know RIM has launched Windows Live Messenger for all carriers. Before this only a select amount of networks had access to the service (such as Bell here in Canada).

Quick Warning after playing with BlackBerry Unite!

By James on May 09, 2008 in BlackBerry, Software, Tips n' Tricks.

I was up until pretty much 2 o'clock this morning playing with this new software. Turns out you don't have to be a Bell customer to use the software (you simply just have to live in Canada to download it. I managed to test the software out on my non-Bell line last night. The idea behind the software is very neat. The content sharing and syncing is similar to a BES. One of my favorite parts is like a BES you can restrict what users do. I have my phone completely blocked down so I couldn't receive incoming calls or use any third party applications. NOW WARNING! If you install this application MAKE SURE YOU DO A BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE as you will have to do a hard reset to remove the Unite! software from your device when finished (unless you want to keep it on?). It works just like a BES server and locks your security IT polices in place until reseted.

Don't know what BlackBerry Unite! is? Click Here.

UPDATE: Looks like a hard reset doesn't remove the IT polices either. Click here for details on how to remove it.
