Well, how things work here, is that we really don't have much that they
connect to. our email is outsourced at the moment. That and one intranet
website is about all that they have access to on the phones, so there's not
a lot of content to worry about. J The Intranet website *is* interactive,
but there's no real content to "download" on it that is proprietary. J

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. J

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,

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.
