BoostBerry Quesions

[tlbaker78]

Hi everyone... I have done alot of research on this and other forums, and have recently bought a BB 7520 and use my Boost card in it (Boostberry)
I works great so far!! I have a few question I would like to ask though.. this is what I have so far:

Opera Mini (FREE)
Hello World GPS (FREE)
iSkoot for Skype (FREE)
JiveTalk (Free to try 19.95 license) (I lovr it, and its worth it)
IMobileMail (Free to try) its ok.. but you have to pay
Google maps (FREE) it only gov me an option for BT GPS though.. did I install the wrong one??

My questions are....

1. I have seen somewhere before that there is a workaround or fix so you can download OTA.. (currently while browsing in Opera and you try to DL OTA it opens BB Browser and says no service) I know I have seen that its possible to fix this, BUT can't find it now.. Any Ideas??

2. What other OTA programs are any of you currently using on your 7520.
3. Which is better 7520 or 7100? I ordered a 7100 it should be here soon
4. Is there a way to link / Sync my outlook contacts and calender eith my BB with my setup

Thanks for any advice and help!!!

wow never thought i would see a boostberry post here my first blackberry was a boostberry 7100i i had all the apps you are currently running and i never found away to download OTA but i was able to set up microsoft outlook to sync my contacts,notes,tasks etc. i was able to install themes via DM. i couldn't take it though i wanted to used my blackberry for what it was meant to be used for. so i upgraded to 8700g and switched carriers but it was fun having a boostberry

I get frustrated too.. BUT I am still having fun with it.. I have found for around 9 buvks a month I can buy blackberry BES.. through 3rd party companies like mailstreet.com and others... I am still looking into it, but the support guy said yes it will work on my setup..

I will let you all know!

I got a Blackberry 7520 and did some research online on how to hook up txtn and web browsing and such. No luck yet. My head is hurting from looking at the computer screen for so long trying to find something that will help me get this going. I cannot access the web to download any 3rd party programs for this. I do have the boost web available on my account. Can someone please help me get this going. I need step by step or something.

Thanks,
Tanya

Hi, I just purchased a blackberry 7520 and im trying to make it a boostberry. I am totally clueless about how to do anything as far as getting rid of the IT policy or if it even has one. Can someone help me out with this? I would greatly appreciate it.

I purchased my first Nextel Blackberry 7100i on Ebay and after getting a new battery and finding a charger from a friend I was able with much help from you guys on the forums and trying it many times over a rainy weekend to connect it to Boost Mobile and create a BoostBerry. Great!

After a month, my screen on the 7100i died - bad lcd - couldn't return it to ebay so I went looking to find a Nextel 7100i - this time with a warranty. Not easy to find. Idid locate one place that sells Boostberry 7100i with a one year warranty - www boostberry com

Has anyone heard about them? are they reliable?

thanx

I'm right there with you! New to all of this. I bought my 7520 off of ebay and they told me that I could have this up and running with something like Opera and I've only run into trouble.

No....When you download and unzip or extract all files it should be a file named Combined3.ipd
