This is an �unofficial� reference guide to provision your p910x handset to work with BlackBerry push email service. There are some prerequisites that must be met. [/center]
Requirements:
- Blackberry (Corporate) GPRS data package provisioned to your account.
- SE BB Connect + SE BB Desktop Configuration
- PC with P910x docking station.
Overview:
This guide is �unofficial� primarily because the SE BB Connect software has not been released globally. The only official release to-date is in Asia as confirmed in a press release (available @ blackberry.com). That said, this guide should help you get your handset setup to work with the latest BB connect software in the States and Europe.
What this guide will allow you to do is configure your P910x for BB Instant Email and BlackBerry (corporate) Solution.
Note:
- �Instant Email� will allow you to have your POP3 (i.e. Yahoo, GMail, ect..) emails pushed directly to your handset.
- �BlackBerry Solution� will allow you to have your corporate email pushed directly to your handset, allow remote lookup of addresses/phone #s, and synchronize your calendar.
Warning! Due to this software being an �unofficial� release neither your service provider nor RIM will be held responsible for support. All support requests will be met at the discretion of the customer support representative for your service provider or RIM. They have the right to refuse support. That being said, this board may be your safe haven for technical advice or first hand experience.

[/center]
Note:
This can be verified by simply doing the following:
�Control Panel� -> �Internet accounts� -> select �BES BlackBerry.net� then choose �edit� -> �advanced� then view the name under �address�. It must be displayed as �blackberry.net�. If not change it to that. I have noticed that the initial install may create an alternate address.
In order to utilize other GPRS dependent services (i.e. IM, Internet Browser, etc..) you must pause the BlackBerry service and select the appropriate internet account to connect to (i.e. T-Zones, etc..). The BlackBerry service should resume automatically if you close down the program that was utilizing the alternate internet account.
Install the SE BB Client software (.sis file) on the handset. Also install the SE BB Desktop software (optional).
1st Choose: �Provision� then select �Instant Email�
2nd Choose: �Register Now�

Once it is installed you should see an icon displayed in the Task bar. What you may have noticed as well is that a "Web Client (Messaging)" was created in your Service Books tab (view SE BB Client software settings profile).

Visit the BB Web Client page and create a profile. It will require your PIN # and IMEI both of which are accessible through the SE BB client software settings located in your phone. Integrate (Manually Add) your existing POP3 email accounts to the BB Web Client.

You should receive an activation notification email from the BB Web Client service which in turn would have created a "Web Client" email account under the "Messages" tab in your phone.

[center]BlackBerry Service Connection Verification[/center]
- Caution: The settings profile should display the service status. To verify whether the handset has made a connection to the blackberry service, refer to the following illustrations:

[center]General BlackBerry Functionality[/center]
If your account has been provisioned for the BlackBerry Solution you will also be able to utilize the BlackBerry Web Client without having to toggle between accounts. The BlackBerry service should allow you to share messages by communicating through email accounts or between PIN numbers. The latter is a functionality that is exclusive to the BlackBerry service and is synonymous to that of an �IM� service for BlackBerry account holders only.
The BB connect software allows one to receive attachments and browse them through its proprietary viewer. The file size limitation is infinite. However, being that messages are pushed to the handset and not downloaded the attachments are displayed in a structured tree format. The user has the flexibility to expand/collapse the attachment by simply clicking on the tree [+]/[-] icons. This in turn sends a request to the server to push additional data that may be associated with the attachment to the handset. The response time is fairly quick, however, a lag may occur if the attachment is extremely large or the server is bogged down. The following illustrations display a test message with multiple attachments sent to a BES account;

The BB connect software (BlackBerry Solution) also allows one to look up addresses on the corporate server and synchronize calendars.
