I don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but here you go. It reflects what we've been told, but at least it gives us something to keep an eye on.

Go go na.blackberry.com/eng/support/

and search for this article ID: KB13330

According to a Verizon SME I was talking to this afternoon the service book re-send method of getting the 8830 to sync is only working less than half the time. His suggested work around until the BB OS is fixed is to add a email account to your BB via the BIS interface in addition to the regular VZW address.

I did this and my calendar is now in sync with Outlook.

Thanks! That seems to have worked for me too.

This new version also fixes a call log icon issue with the Verizon theme that I noticed. The arrows for incoming and outgoing calls were not pointing the right way on the previous version. They are pointing the right way not, but the color is not right. I don't think it should be red for outgoing calls.

After loading new Device Software, is a *228 neccessary? If so, Option 1 or Option 2?
Thx.

I tried that and that also does not work. Efforts to contact the back office for a resolution has failed and I have been promised a call back at some time.

I was further advised that the system administrator reports being behind in setting up accounts for the data side for downloads. So, I guess they sell the phones and worry about getting the users in the system whenever they get around to it and for the first week they don't bother to tell anyone so customers end up on the phone for hours and no one at tier 1 customer support has the knowledge to help.

I just thought Cingular customer non-service was bad!!

i just made up a number and it worked! lol

This is an old thread. Did you check the dates? When it was created the download location (VZW's download site) hosted the .66 release.... MANY MOONS AGO!
