Installed OS4.2.1.119 On BB8703e

Upgrade from OS4.2.1.110. I am digging through the web for change notes for this version.

Menu Unlock Doesn't Work

If I can't unlock using the menu anymore, why bother having the "Unlock" button/selection?



Clicking Unlock will send you this dialog:

Alarm Menu Is Not Intuitive

Why the menu is defaulted to "Copy" after I change the time? Shouldn't it be "Close"?

Installed JL_Cmder To Capture BB Screen Shot

Downloaded JL_Cmder from blackberryfreaks.com, and using it to capture the screen shots on the BB. There are others commands such as deviceinfo, eventlog, wipe and resettofactory (hopefully I wouldn't use the last two).

I will write more of this utility once I figure out more.

Atomichelix Notify! For BlackBerry Works

Read about it from BerryReview.com and I like the functionality, it is better to have some email saved to your Notes application instead of on the saved folder. It starts working after I upgrade to OS4.2.

Installed OS4.2.1.110 On BB8703e

We'll see how it works, if I am not saying anything: then things are working fine. If not, expect tons of complaints in this channel.

Going Wireless Via USB

Sprint has an installer that setup USB data connection from your PC/laptop to BB 8703e, so you don't have follow this instruction.

EVDO is sweet, with 3 bars (out of five) I could browse gmail without problem, vpn to SSH and RDP with minor lag too.

Received BB 8703e

BB 8703e

I am going to get BB 8703e from Sprint instead of the 8830. The reason is simple: cheap.

But I believe it is better to have 8830 since it has microSD socket, and those units only have 64MB of memory.
