This looks to a lot more practical and so much cheaper that Redfly.

I'm game.

ok, so i downloaded this, and it was so easy!

one point i should make, is the sms limit in the uk is 160 characters, and the program allows for 200, so maybe an option to configure to local preferences.

and just one other thing, by feedback is it just comment on this thread or is there an email to send stuff too? didnt quite figure that one out!

oh and i`d love BBM integration :)

Comment your feedback here if you'd like. But feed back goes to beta@bayalink.com.

Ha just gotta read the last sentence!!

I was looking real hard at Redfly but I might give this a go first. It appears simpler but I wont know 'till I try.

Pretty sweet. Hope they have email/sms alerts similar to Elertify...

Would love to help you out and test it. But I find myself more and more at my g/f's without my pc, only a mac around here :(. I will test it out during the day and any other time possible for me to use it though. Seems like a great application though!

Man, seems like an awesome app, but I'd probably like it too much and then when my beta expired, there's no way I could free up 60 bucks... Stupid school debts.

Totally agree with you SCrid2000!

Maybe if they gave a free license for 12-24 months for their Beta testers I would download.

At the very least let's see some deep discounts for beta testers!

This program will be golden once it comes out with BBM support!!!

Works by default with IE. You can use Firefox too by setting your proxy to 127.0.0.1, port 3126.

EDIT - or you could just use the options in the program - duh.

after turning off app had to turn off proxy dialup in IE8, otherwise just gives non connected errors

OK, how easy is this program? TOO easy! Great speed and user interface! Definately going to give it a work out.... could be worth the money.

BBM support will take this to next level!

Would like to see some sort of discount for Beta testers...

Downloaded this earlier today, really easy to use. BBM integration would be great! Hopefully we will get to try out a Beta version with BBM eventually.

When I try to download the Blackberry version, I get an error stating that I cannot load that page. When I downloaded it to my computer and tried emailing it to myself and opening it that way, I got an error trying to download it on the Blackberry.

I was unable to get the browser to load. After closing the app, my home internet connection was down. I had to reboot my laptop in order to get back online.
It's a good app. If I can't find a way to get the browser to work, or figure out the issues, then I will end up passing on this app.

check your browser proxy. Liberty Lite changes the browser proxy to re-direct the traffic to the blackberry.

IE-->tools-->internet options-->connections-->Lan settings
if proxy server is checked, uncheck it and your home internet will work again.

Thanks for the tip on getting my home internet to work again.
I have yet to been able to surf the internet with this app. It takes me to the Google search page after testing my connection. I'm unable to visit any sites. The status bar hangs, and the page never loads.

I've been using Tether for some time now. Tether (TetherBerry) is a great app but this is WAY better because you can use it as a tether device and use it to access your Blackberry at the same time. Make phone calls, type emails, update my calendar, transfer pictures, and a lot more. And you can do this with the internet browser open. I love it! When I am on the road I don't always have Wi-Fi for my netbook. While Tether works for internet access now I can do other things on my BlackBerry right from my computer screen and keyboard. Thanks!

Super easy to install and fire up. I need more time to play with it. But some quick initial impressions:

I believe 160 is a universal SMS limit. On my 9700 I can type forever and it splits it up. The limit in the program should be either 160 (preferably counting down), or should split the message into multiple messages (preferably still with a counter so you don't go 2 chars over).

SMS integration with the device is mandatory - especially with threaded SMS OS's.

Full BBM integration (including groups) would be a HUGE plus!

This might be because I haven't played with it enough - but it appeared as though only new emails show up in the interface. This could be a problem if I'm not wrong about that. One use I'd have for the app would be to plug in to a PC when I find a long response is required. If I had to remember to mark that email as unread, it would be bad. If I could never access that email unless it came in while connected, it would be next to useless.

One last question - Why does the application stay active on the BB after shutting down? This is the kind of solution I would use at very specific times, and probably infrequently. Clicking the icon to start it isn't that big a hassle. The difference in memory usage may or may not be great. But if the app is active, it's using clock cycles, and more important to me - it's another slot I need to cycle through when hitting ALT-ESC to switch applications which is my main way of navigating the BB.

Anyway, I'm gonna play with it some more. Please do consider throwing the beta testers a free copy. (Especially the verbose ones!)

This is absolutely awesome. I would definitely purchase it if BBM were included right now. I guess I'm gonna have to wait.

I'm trying this now but it sounds a bit pricey compared to Impatica's software which gives you full control over your blackberry. Maybe i've misunderstood somewhere.......

 
 
Posted by cdf3 Saturday, Feb 27, 2010 809 days ago

I tried the demo from Impatica. It was extremely slow.

Just downloaded the trial and it is actually pretty great. It will be nice to not have to keep grabbing my BB from my desk during the day at work to check emails.

If I use the browser through my carrier, will they consider it thethering and charge me a ton?

 
 
Posted by curve247 Friday, Feb 26, 2010 810 days ago

It works great. The UI is great. I would like to see BBM intigration and other app intigration so I dont have to look at my BB for things like gtalk or twitter or facebook.

That would make this perfect and I would buy without an issue.

Thanks!

This program seems to freeze up and crash often.

 
 
Posted by stubbornswiss Saturday, Feb 27, 2010 809 days ago

Downloaded, installed and trying it out.

First thing I noticed, is during connection I'm asked for my device password. I enter the password, but it is not accepted! The only way I can get it to connect, is by disabling the password on my device. Not acceptable, as there is a possibility of forgetting to re-enable said password.

Secondly, although the browser home screen loaded pretty fast, trying to surf to any other sites is not possible. The status bar hangs, and the page never loads. The status bar hangs, and the page never loads.

May play around with it some more, and report back!

As I am still on EDGE service, I found browsing to be slow. Speedtest.com would not run.... Errored with a "liscence missing" message. Uninstalled the software from the Laptop took 30+ minutes..... May revisit when we get 3G...
