Warning: This was not created by RIM. I threw it together a few minutes ago.
Download: Bridge OS2 Beta
Current Version: http://www.filearchivehaven.com/down..._1.0.5.222.bar
Old Previous Version: http://www.filearchivehaven.com/down..._1.0.5.202.bar
Old Previous Version: http://www.filearchivehaven.com/down...e_OS2_Beta.bar

Installation: BlackBerry + Android, and thank you DDPB Installer | File Archive Haven (via DDPB)
Purpose: This should make Bridge easier for developers in the meantime.
Notes: Swipe from the top to change some options (like user agent) or default bridge url

If you see the message: Error 503 Transport not supported. It means your Playbook and Phone are not bridged.

New in 1.0.5.225

- Removed links and status at bottom
- Improved Bridge detection
- Hardend application
- Adjusted screen ratio setting with mismatching windows
- Added two more user agents
- New default UserAgent (PlayBook) is most reliable, less attractive
- Many bug fixes from old DB Code

Known Issues:
- Some pages fit funny - this looks unavoidable
- IE agent adds a 'Web folder' that does nothing
Interesting? I wonder what this means in the future?

Great job yet again... some UI polish on these apps and you'll put Rim to shame!

The killer flash video performance of your browser app kills Rim's...

Well Done!

everything works but the bridge browser is not working for me. =\

[KermEd]

nope no bridge that ones reaaally disabled

[daniekl]

owh man. =\

[thetnaung]

This is cool idea as this can easily switch to other bridge app. RIM should really inspired by you to do this.

But Bridge Browser and Bridge Files is still not working.

[vecharo]

waitin for the install to finish. i know i gotta get to bed.
but
must
see
this
work!
lol (sooo sad)

[vecharo]

worth the wait!!!!

[jvictor77]

Was using the other workaround that opens in the native browser - but this one works even better! I can cope without bridge browser, bridge files or sound - Thanks so much!

[KermEd]

I actually submitted this for free to the AppWorld - RIM kicked it back because it says "error 503....|

... which is actually an error put in by RIM that means you need to Bridge your phone.
... also the same error I explained in the description and release notes.

I resubmitted with a block of text in the app saying what error 503 means. But who knows, maybe they will actually let this one through At lesat they were testing it lol.

[thaboy]

great job on this just tried it out.

[jeremyray]

Can someone help me how to use this file? I already installed it with DDPB installer but i found nothing but the same original bridge that came with the OS 2.0 and it didn't work.

[Solitaire72]

click on the bridge os2 app icon and then select what bridge function you want

[jvictor77]

Nah, seems to me the install didn't take and you're tapping the original bridge icon. You don't end up with the same icon. Look for a totally new looking one labelled 'Bridge OS2' at the very bottom of your first pane.

[jeremyray]

yeah you right the new icon now appear after i restart my PB....now it's work love the OS 2.0.....thanks for the help : )

Thank you! But the front page of what?

Oh! Sorry, first post on this thread is where I've been hoarding the release notes

[jvictor77]

Ok thanks! I notice that the latest release notes say .225 instead of .222. Also, I can't tap on links within emails to open in the browser...

[Vostro15]

Why can't RIM employ people like KermEd?! Not that they need to now he's doing their job for free!

[danield76]

Hi guys. I an only see a white screen? E.g. when i click on Memopad / Notepad, i cannot see any files. If i make a new file, it will be on my blackberry as well. I use the latest Bridge OS2-file and OS2 .3894.
Anyone else having this issue? I can use internet-tethering but can not see any messages. Not on both my Blackberries (9780 en 8520) btw.

Update => It works when you select English language and US Country.
The native Bridge works now with the new .3894

[KermEd]

That explains the 1 star from someone speaking Spanish on the reviews!
