AT&T is at 4.5.x on the 8xx0 series and yea 4.5 lags especially with Content 
protection enabled.

Interesting the everyone pays for their own phone concept.  So it's a personal 
device connected to corporate infrastructure?  Do you guys enforce policies, 
data wipes, etc?

Thanks,

All I know is they went to the AT&T store (the users in question are AT&T 
customers) and they were upgraded. It might be they had a much older version of 
the O/S and were just upgraded to the "current" version. I don't really know as 
I don't have anything to do with phones... everyone pays for their own phone 
here. :)

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,

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...

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

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...
