Help With Optimizing The Use Of Bb8830

[sach@RIM 0]

Hello All,

I recently purchased a BB World Edition 8830 handset (my first Blackberry) and I'm a bit confused how to use this device optimally. The user guide provided with the device is not useful and does not provide the required information.

I'm seeking your help in the following areas:

1. How to view/edit and create MS Office documents and also PDF

2. Currently the default browser is R-Connect, how to move to a blank browser where i do not require to connect to R-world every time

3. How to configure my Google based email accounts

4. How to set up Gtalk on my device

Any help will be much appreciated

Regards

I tried this DOC software but this only works on OS 4.5 whereas 8830 only supports OS version 4.3.

Any workaround?

Thanks

I already tried downloading this from the Blackberry website but after the download my BB Desktop software said you are on the latest version and there are no updates available. :-(

I'm using Reliance connection.... does it have something to do with this?

First uninstall ver 4.2 from your computer, reboot. Install 4.5, go to program files/common files/ research in motion/ apploader. Delete Vendor.xml(Shift+ Del). Reboot again. Then run desktop manager. you will be prompted for update. Remember: removal of vendor.xml is compulsory. Also, use desktop manager 4.7 for easy update. Be prepared for some bugs though such as low batt. life & slightly less clear dispaly(My experience so far) enjoy
