Nice update to Protect. This a great feature for BlackBerry owners and needs to be trumpeted more! Toot your own horn, RIM, cause no one else will!

Apple has the same features, i just got my Apple iphone 4S yesterday, but I still would want to keep my 9900, still very undecided.....I love the keyboard, but this 9900 keeps on freezing on me every couple days, I hope and pray BBX will be like iphone, it never froze on me (I had only had it for 24 hours), but it's fast, and responsive......

I will most probably keep my 9900

Same here, mate. The 4S battery life is a disaster, just waiting to see if the upgrade makes it better. The 9900 has really nice features, and BB Protect is one of them. Let's hope they don't start charging a penny once it goes out of beta, that would be a dumb move.
If your 9900 freezes, you can do a few things before asking for a replacement. See what apps are running in the background, close them one by one to see if you can find a faulty one. Also, if you have a charging pod, try charging it directly via micro USB. I have a feeling the pod is bricking/nuking a lot of 9900s these days.
Oh, I use the 4s as an voice-command alarm clock and weather forecast tool. =P
I take my 9900 and Playbook everyday at work. The cheapest 2Gb data plan in Canada. =)

I definitely like the styling of the site and hope they go with a similar design for their NewBay integration and future UI elements.

When will it be available for the 9810?

Works for my Roger's 9810

Please correct me if I am wrong....but BB Protect is available for all device running at least OS6.

Tested it and it worked fine on OS 5 on my 9700 a few months ago.

I just fiddled with the functions on the site and laughed at the tone it plays when you command it to ring loudly.

This is great. I also tried the site and had the phone twirping at me and showing messages. What a great thing if you lose your bb

 
 
Posted by Joy1980 Thursday, Nov 10, 2011 194 days ago

I think the battery and signal strength is an OS 7 thing.

I'm looking forward to BB Protect for my Playbook.

Me too!!!!!

 
 
Posted by Heavens1 Thursday, Nov 10, 2011 194 days ago

Yes I also like the new website format - I've tried all the features and they work as they should - good oh!!!

It's not working in Mexico. I tried on Firefox, Chrome and IE but got the following message every time I tried to login:

An Error Occurred:
Image pointed to must exist (input stream must not be null)
+ Stack Trace
+ Component Tree
+ Scoped Variables

Note to self: Today would be the worst time to lose your BB!

This is a great App, WebSite looks better too.

 
 
Posted by weezul Thursday, Nov 10, 2011 194 days ago

eh.. ive had this app for like a year, it backs up my stuff fine. But I can't locate through GPS, send message, play tones, or anything. It just can't contact the device. I'm at home on wifi and cell network with good signal on both. cehcked the app too, its up and running fml.

 
 
Posted by Rootbrian Saturday, Nov 12, 2011 193 days ago

It's likely BIS having delays. Try what I suggested.

 
 
Posted by mss-ca Thursday, Nov 10, 2011 194 days ago

It should allow us to read our contacts on the web like other back up serverices. Imagine I lose my Blackberry or thanks to RIM's awesome engineering my phone get bricked or nuked. I have to buy another Blackberry OR fix mine to read my contacts.

This app should be improved with functions like online viewing of back up files like LookOut Mobile Backups do!

Is there a way to do the geolocate and sound features in or with BES Express?

 
 
Posted by rickkel Thursday, Nov 10, 2011 194 days ago

@weezul - I had this problem at first too with my Torch 9850. Then I realized that when I upgraded my OS to the most current version the BlackBerry protect needs to be re-set up (accept terms & condtions, etc.). You might check this on your phone.

Then, when I went to the website, I saw it contained my last few old phones I had signed up on Protect under the "Manage Devices" tab. I deleted all my old phones, logged out and back in and my phone showed the battery meter, signal strength and all of the functions worked perfectly.

A+
I enjoyed the new webpage UI.
*Thumbs Up*

I like the BB protect App, but I s till want the ability to download my contacts from BB protect website that are backup on the server onto my computer

Hi! does anyone know when/if blackberry protect will function on devices that have Blackberry Enterprise?

Thanks

Ciprian

What if my mobile is stolen and gets a new OS loaded? Will BB protect remain? Also, how it will work if the stealr puts in a SIM card that has no net access at all???

 
 
Posted by mckillio Friday, Nov 11, 2011 193 days ago

Not available for my Tmobile Curve 9360.

 
 
Posted by Sashko Friday, Nov 11, 2011 193 days ago

I really wish this site was accessible via the BlackBerrys directly, so you could actually use it while you're out looking for your BB. Here's to wishing: maybe someday.
