Upgraded the handheld OS to 4.5 on several Sprint 8330 models - no problems. Have not upgraded BES (yet).

Ironic since Device OS upgrades aren't available yet... unless you're running beta/leaked/pre-release versions... in which case, most avg users wouldn't like it. EZ - I haven't done the upgrade, but I have bounced it off RIM tech support and a RIM partner and I've been told it's pretty straight forward if you aren't changing anything. Will be planning my smallest site in the upcoming week or two and can offer more then. Thanks, - JB From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 12:34 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Blackberry 5 upgrades anyone done it yet? Don't know anything about BES, but I know several of my users have had the OS on their phones upgraded and were not very happy with the results.

If I ever bothered to sync my BB with my Outlook contacts I'd check to see what the behavior was after I synced such a number from Outlook was... because Outlook WILL allow that format... -sc From: Andy Shook [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 2:28 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Cross Post: Help! User Error! Joe, User is full of horse hockey. I can't even input the '/' mark when in dial mode or can I input a '/' mark in a numeric field. My test was in two parts. 1. Attempt to dial your phone number in the xxx/xxx-xxxx format. No go. The / marks is alternate on key on the 'g' key/ When I press alt+g I get no response. When I just press 'g', I get a capital G. Fail. 2. I tried to add you to my address book on my blackberry and when I attempted to type '/', I get a capital 'G' only, no slash. HTH, Shook From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 2:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Cross Post: Help! User Error! Outlook 2k3 Exchange 2k3 I have a user, who has hundreds of contacts in her Outlook. She's new to our agency, and we imported her contacts from her previous job. She says that her Blackberry didn't have issues dialing these numbers, but that her Samsung Saga WM device does. When I investigated, the issue is that a lot of the phone numbers in her contacts were input as XXX /XXX-XXXX. The Samsung doesn't like the forward slash, so when she tries to dial these numbers, it dials the area code only. I proved that the slash is the issue, by having her fix one number, and try it, and lo and behold, the phone dials the full number. My question: Is there a tool, script, whatever, that I can have her use, to go through her contacts, and replace the forward slash with a dash? She already has a bad view of WM, and I need to get a solution for her fairly quickly. I can't even prove or disprove that the Blackberry can or can't dial a number in the format XXX /XXX-XXXX. If someone else could try it and let me know, I'd personally appreciate it, even though I can't go back to her and tell her she's full of it or not...
