Blackberry has released Blackberry Connect 4.0 client for Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 based Pocket PCs and Smartphones.
- Complete, two-way wireless synchronization of email, calendar, address book, task and memo pad information;
- Enhanced attachment handling capabilities, enabling users to view images, footnotes and tracked changes;
- Remote look-up of corporate email address directory;
- Triple DES or AES wireless encryption;
- Internet and corporate intranet access via the BlackBerry Mobile Data System;
- Wireless device provisioning to allow devices to be activated wirelessly;
- Remote control of email settings to allow users to wirelessly configure out-of-office replies, email filters, and auto-signatures directly from their device; and
- Wireless IT policy enforcement and commands.
As per sems.org,
Previously, you couldn’t issue Wireless IT commands or activate wirelessly. There was no MDS functionality and mostly sync was limited to Calendar, Contacts (with some BBC versions) and Emails. Now all PIM info can be synced and you wouldn’t have to change your APN to browse the internet (blackberry.net APN does not allow Internet access). Also now you can password protect the device, remotely lock and disable it as well. You can also enter Owner Info to display on the Today/Home Screen.

3Link doesn’t work? Copy the name of the link “ActiveSync_BBConnect_Desktop_Setup_4.0.0.17.zip”, click on this link and insert on the end of address in address bar.
Finaly you get “http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/ActiveSync_BBConnect_Desktop_Setup_4.0.0.17.zip” and it works…!

4I downloaded the software, transferred it to my Treo 750, and no go… It reports back: “Uncertified system software detected” and the blackberry website reports that it only works for the motorola Q.
too bad.

9Hi,
I tried this BBconnection in my HTC P6300 (PANDA), WM5, but it does not work:
- I do not get the PIN
- Today screen appears almost empty
Has anybody succeeded with WM5?
Thanks
