I also had a difficult time changing my handset on their my.t-mobile site. It kept changing back to the Blackberry even though that phone did not have the SIM chip anymore! When the site changed my phone device to the Blackberry, it would complain that I had the wrong data plan for the phone. I had to reset the phone almost every time I logged into my.t-mobile.com.

If you’re looking to snag a T-Mobile G2 (check out our review) on the cheap, it’s now available for the low, low price of free through Jan. 20. With it you get great keyboard, fast processor and that crazy locked-down hardware that took way too much time and effort to crack. (But cracked it was. Huzzah!) Anyhoo, you’ve got a couple days left to pull the trigger. Get it at the source link. [T-Mobile]

I cleaned up the browser problem by downloading new service books. This also created new icons for my business and personal email accounts. This feature I liked! I cleaned up the Outlook error by deleting the offending contacts(i.e. They were mistakes!). I did find a newer version of the Desktop software on BlackBerry’s website but it did not fix anything. I fixed the PocketDay problem by downloading a new version. I still have not gotten Opera mini to appear. When I try to download it from the website I get a HTTP 500 server error with the error detail referring to a javalang.NullPointerException error.

Although my phone is only two years old I have started looking at replacements. The biggest feature I am interested in is faster web access via T-Mobile and a phone modem capability for my laptop. The new phones are nice but I can wait.

Opera Software today announced a new version of its awesome micro HTML-browser for non-smartphones, Opera Mini 2.0.

Lots of new features like: change browser’s visual skin, search engine improvements, speed dial for bookmarks, and quick horizontal and vertical panning when browsing backwards or forwards.

I tried using several previous versions of Opera Mini on my Blackberry in the past and the quirky usability killed me. The thumbwheel was useless. Performance was sluggish, too! This version fixed those quirks. You can use the thumbwheel to click on a link now. Usability has dramatically improved and the performance is pretty good. So far I like it and I suspect I will start using it over the built-in browser.

Opera Mini is the mobile version of the popular Opera web browser, which is available for many mobile devices including the Blackberry handhelds. What’s great about Opera Mini is that it uses an inbetween proxy server that strips and formats the regular website, optimizing it for mobile platforms which makes browsing faster and saves on data cost. It has all the regular features expected of a browser, such as bookmarks, browsing history, and ability to split large pages into smaller sections for faster browsing.

Best of all, Opera Mini is free.

To download visit the following site on your Blackberry:

http://mini.opera.com

* Note, users running 4.0+ will have issues installing Opera Mini for the Blackberry, you will get a JAD error. What you need to do is find the link for the ‘Low memory version’ and install that version. We have already contacted Opera regarding this error.

The good news is that the browser is real nice and free. The bad news is that it is so slow I have already removed it from my phone! Other people have already commented on the slowness problem on their phones. I had to put wap.voicestream.com in my TCP configuration and download the low memory version to get around the “907 invalid jar” error message. This is a much nicer browser than the built-in browser but on my Blackberry this browser appears to be a work in progress.

I downloaded the upgrades to my Blackberry phone and desktop yesterday. It said it was fixing a variety of small problems including an extended search for the network. It did seem to fix my Error 3 problem I was getting on the Week View. The upgrade to the Desktop went without a hitch. The upgrade to the phone was more of a problem. I had updated Pocketday online. That version was replaced with the version connected to my Desktop which unfortunately was a much older version. It also reset all of my settings. I had to:

1. Change the TCP setting so I could get the weather and stock ticker to work.
2. Change the zipcode so I could get weather for my location.
3. Add a stock ticker for Dow Jones. The stock ticker was blank.

Cross River Systems is pleased announce that PocketDay is now available for the BlackBerry platform. PocketDay is a full featured Personal Information Manager and Utility application suite developed specifically for color BlackBerry devices. It supports all color blackberries with OS version 3.8 and higher.

I have been playing with PocketDay for the last couple of days. I see it as an enhanced and supported version of the now defunct BBToday. The Summary screen is a little better than BBToday while the Detail is a very useful once you get rid of the missed calls in your call log. The shortcut keys are nice but they must be customized for the 7100t which has fewer available keys. The communication error I got frequently in BBToday is not present in PocketDay. The number of unread email displayed on the Summary screen is wrong on my 7100t but that shouldn’t be too hard to fix. Overall PocketDay is a nice package and I am buying it. You can try it out for free at their web site.

Pocket PC users familiar with the Today Screen program would instantly recognize BBToday. BBToday is a program that overrides your home screen and displays some of the more important information. Currently BBToday can list your 5-day forecast, new and total emails, tasks, appointments, plus battery and signal strength all on one screen. The best thing is that the program is completely open source and free.

The program does override your home screen so you will need to press the ESC button to exit to your regular home screen. The BBToday screen is not as pretty as your normal home screen but provides a lot more functionality. It would be nice if there was an option to not have the program over ride the original home screen.

Hey, this is cool even if you cannot get the weather portion to work with your phone service. I added an APN entry of wap.voicestream.com to get it to work on t-mobile. It works most of the time. When the weather portion does not work, I get a malformed address error message. Most of the time when I select “Update Now”, the error message will clear up.
