Although the email service is 2nd to none, this Blackberry is very uncontract reliable. Over my 18 month vodafone contract the phone has been changed 5 times due to different faults. Typically vodafone is considered the best network in th UK, however the 8707v makes it look terible. What Blackberry has the best signal strength?

You may have to install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software first, the CD should be included in the package. It also installs the drivers required for the BlackBerry...

Maximum number of Address Book entries is determined by the amount of free memory available in the device. I've seen people with several thousand addresses, no problem.

How many phone book entries can blackberry 8707g store? I have over 2000 entries in my outlook that I want to synchronize, but it stops and gives error at entry no 935. If there is a default memory allocation for addressbook, please advise how to increase it to accomodate 2000+ entries. Thanks.

I've had the 8707v on trial for some time. I agree with earlier Australian comments, in that Vodafone know nothing about the device (UK also), and one operator said they didn't support it's use as a modem because it's 'flaky'!. Whenever I do use the device as a modem, it keeps dropping the line and keeps switching between GPRS and 3G. Signal control is appalling. calls cut out and people complain they can't hear me. I sometimes can't make calls when showing signal and I have recurring problems sending mail. battery life is poor and can fail over a very short period. The standard holster kept falling off my belt so I bought a solid plastic unit. Overal = excellent idea, very, very poorly executed.

How to: Tether BlackBerry Pearl to PC for use as a modem
October 30th, 2006
More providers are encouraging the use BlackBerry handhelds as tethered modems, but few are detailing how its done. We have created the following article to assist in the set up of your GSM/GPRS BlackBerry for use as a tethered modem for your Windows based PC.
The following article applies to users of the new BlackBerry Pearl (8100 series), 7130 series and 8700 series GSM/GPRS handhelds. BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.1 or better will be required, so make sure you have that installed first.
Install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager
When you install BlackBerry Desktop Software, the drivers that enable the BlackBerry device to communicate through the USB port and virtual COM port are installed. The Standard Modem, which is used by dial-up networking, is also installed.
Note: If you are upgrading your BlackBerry Desktop Software from version 4.0 to 4.1, the required Virtual COM Port and Standard Modem might be removed during the upgrade process. If this is the case, re-install the BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.1 or later and choose the Repair option to re-install these components.
Set up Internet APN
From your PC:
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel
Double-click Phone and Modem Options
In the Phone and Modem Options window, click the Modems tab
Select Standard Modem and click Properties
In the Standard Modem Properties window, Click the Advanced Tab
In the Extra initialization commands field, type the following: +cgdcont=1,IP,your Internet APN
Vodafone Customers = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet";
Note: If you do not know your Internet APN, or if you do not have an Internet APN, contact your service provider.
Click OK
In the Phone and Modem Options window, click OK
Configure dial-up networking connection
Windows XP:
Go to Start > Settings > Network Connections
Double-click New Connection Wizard. The New Connection Wizard opens
Click Next

Select Setup my connection manually. Click Next
Select Connect using a dial-up modem. Click Next
If the Select a Device screen appears, select the Modem - Standard Modem check box. Click Next
In the ISP Name field, type a name for your connection. Click Next
In the Phone number field, type *99#. Click Next
Indicate which users will have access to the connection. Click Next
Enter the user name and password provided by your service provider. Click Next
Click Finish
In the Connect window, click Properties
In the Properties window, verify that Modem - Standard Modem appears beneath the Connect using heading, then click Configure
In the Modem Configuration window, clear the Enable hardware flow control check box and make sure none of the other check boxes are selected. Click OK
In the Properties window, click OK
Connect BlackBerry to Desktop Manager
Connect the BlackBerry device to the computer and verify that BlackBerry Desktop Manager displays Connected. The device must be identified by BlackBerry Desktop Manager in order for the modem to establish a connection.
Important: BlackBerry Desktop Manager must be running for the tethered modem to function.
Note: If Microsoft Outlook is not operating in cache mode, you might receive a message indicating that BlackBerry Desktop Manager cannot contact the messaging server. If this message appears, click Cancel to proceed.

You can get VODAFONE to activate a PROSUMER model as an ENTERPRISE setup.
Speak with your phone agent. They will need the PIN number off the side of the box (7 digit alpha-numeric), along with the IMEI number.
The only problem with this is that sometimes, the 8707 will have a hiccup and go back to being a prosumer. Usually its becuase Vodafone UK's lists have gotten twisted and they need to re-provision it (you don't have to reactivate).

1. i downloaded the OS for 8700v which i knew it could read hebrew websites.
2. i i found the 'Semitic language support' .COD file. one part of the solution is to understand that RIM is calling Russian and arabic for Semitic and has one file for both languages.
3. i made an .alx file just like the one present for the korean language support and putted it in the '7100-v4.1.0.292_P1.8.0.144' folder.
4. i putted the .COD file in the java folder.
5. i ran the app loader, selected the Russian font, the device restarted, and Hurra !!!! i can see Russian!!!!
