This happens a lot with ours, thankfully we have lots of broken spares, I just pop the ball piece out and replace the whole unit, good to go. ---

BB: Storm 9530 OS: 4.7.0.86 Pin: 304AB182 Apps: RSA SecurID Google Maps Nav4All BBMessanger Gtalk Facebook Gmail - sometimes, I have BIS hooked up to Gmail. I just use the app to search for old mail. Weatherbug - kinda buggy, but pretty good. Softreset - do a battery pull without… pulling the battery. TSMobiles - a little glitchy, but a pretty ok remote desktop client. AccelerometerDemo - nothing fancy here but it’s pretty nifty.

> [@evolve](#): > > I do not envy any of you BES admin guys. Honestly i dont know if its cause they gave us the hardware but its always fine. Once in a while i have problems when the execs. want the new BBs for themselves but for the most part it works great. We dont restrict the users at all either so thats probably anothr headache avoided. > [@Fry](#): > > Can you get a plug in to make appointments and tasks appear on the home screen ala windows mobile? It syncs with the exchange server so you make an appointment on your comptuer it goes straight to your BB or vice versa without any software on your desktop ---

Yeah I’m just thinking about at-a-glance reminding. With a couple of plug ins I really like my winmo software, but I like the BB Curve form factor waaay better. ---

Yeah, most of the problems span on the connectors and mailbox agents with exchange. Especially the users with 15GB mailboxes and like, 5000+ contacts that they want to wirelessly sync. LOL @ MS’s recommendation for mailbox size for Exchange 2003 : 50MB lol asshats. Yeah, usually when the BES goes down, it’s either Exchange, or the blackberry network itself. ---

> [@evolve](#): > > All you admins out there… > > [http://www.roveit.com/](http://www.roveit.com/) I always have my laptop & aircard on me 24/7 so if I’m not on site and I get alarms I’ll have access.

Armed with my crackberry and keurig coffee maker im taking on the world. Awesome bro, congrats! Hope it works out for ya. I spoke to a few guys who work with Ticketmaster and they said they don’t get shit for free tickets/discounts on tickets hopefully [tickets.com](http://tickets.com) treats their employees diff. > [@Daddie](#): > > Yeah, usually when the BES goes down, it’s either Exchange, or the blackberry network itself. +1 The only time ours has gone down was when we had a gbic fail but it didn’t failover because it was giving a false state of up.
