Leaked BlackBerry Desktop Software 7.0.0.32 – No Keycode Needed

 

Some of the OSBB members got an email this morning letting them know that a new BlackBerry Desktop Software was available for download for PC users in the Beta Zone. The email is a bit late,  as the new Desktop Software has been available since the 18th, but we can all forgive RIM for that, right?

Hit the jump for more info and a download link.

The release notes let us know that this release fixes a whole host of issues, from errors restoring data to errors uninstalling Desktop Software in Vista. Quite naturally, it also brings some new problems. For a full overview, you can download the Release Notes And Known Issues List.

Unfortunately, RIM limits access to the installer in two ways. First, not everyone gets invited to the beta (and some people can’t even register for the Beta Zone). Second, RIM requires a keycode to access the installer.

The first of those two obsticles is easy to overcome; someone leaks the installer. The second issue would be trickier, or perhaps even impossible, except that RIM does a very silly thing in the packaging of the installer. I won’t go into details (because if RIM changes it these leaks won’t be possible), but what they do gives you access to a stock RIM Desktop Manager Installation package that doesn’t require a keycode.

Before you download, do take warning that this is a Beta product. It might not work for you (I myself have only tested it on Windows 7 x64) and, as a beta, it almost certainly will contain bugs.

That being said, for those of us who want to install BlackBerry Desktop Software 7.0.0.32 without needing a keycode

How To Use BBM (BlackBerry Messanger)

BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™) allows you to communicate quickly with your friends. And thanks to message indicators on BBM that let you know when your message has been sent, delivered and read by your friends, there are no worries about getting your message across!

Getting started on BlackBerry Messenger

First, find the BBM icon on the ‘all’ window of the home screen.

• The first thing you will be asked for is a display name. This is the name that other people will see you as in their contact list.
• You will then be asked to associate your BlackBerry Messenger account with your own contact in your address book. If you don’t already have one set up to choose from, you can create one easily.

You’re now ready to get started with BBM.

Invite Contact

BBM is a tool to help keep you connected with your inner circle, so it’s by invitation only. Here’s how to invite contacts into your BBM list:

• To invite a contact click ‘invite contact’ under the contacts section on the main BBM screen
• You can invite a contact to your BBM list in one of three ways:

* Inputting their PIN or Email account
* By text message
* By scanning their barcode

Note: you can find your own PIN barcode in your BBM contact profile. From the main BBM screen, you can press the ‘menu key’ and select ‘view my profile’ and choose to show your PIN Barcode.

Chatting

Now that you’ve got contacts in your contact list, you can start communicating with them using BBM.

• To start a conversation, simply click on a contact and compose your message. Pressing the return/enter key will send the message.
• When the message is sent, you’ll see a checkmark appear next to your message. When that message is delivered to the recipient’s BlackBerry® smartphone, that check mark will appear with a ‘D’ next to it. And when the message is read on the other end the ‘D’ will be replaced with an ‘R’

To end a conversation, you can press the menu key and select ‘End chat’   

Chatting with multiple contacts

BBM also lets you chat with multiple people at once, just like a chat room.

• Once you’ve started a chat with one person, you can add additional contacts by pressing the menu key and selecting ‘Invite others’. You are then presented with your BBM contact list to select additional participants.

Sharing Files

You can use BBM to share files with your BBM contacts quickly and easily.

• While in a chat, click on the paperclip icon to bring up a menu which lets you select the file type you would like to share. Selecting a picture for example will take you to the album list in the Pictures application.
• Once you have selected an image from an album, you are able to add a comment before sending. As soon as the recipient accepts the transfer on their end, the picture will be sent.

BlackBerry Groups

BlackBerry Groups lets you set up forums with other BlackBerry Messenger contacts, which allows you to share pictures, voice notes, calendars and task lists — kind of like a message board! The group even has its own icon that you can put on your home screen for easy access.

• Selecting ‘create new group’ from the BlackBerry Groups section of the home screen brings you to a page where you can specify information about the group you want to create, like giving it a name, selecting an icon, and so on.
• Once you’ve created the group, click the ‘Invite new member’ icon in the bottom left hand corner of the group’s main screen. You can then select an existing BlackBerry Messenger contact or add a new one.
• As soon as that person accepts your group request, you’ll be able to interact with them within the group!

BlackBerry BIS Vs BES

I’m often asked about the difference between BES and BIS. They both serve the same ultimate purpose: to deliver email (and data) to your handheld in a secure and reliable manner. So what’s the difference?

What is BIS?
BIS stands for BlackBerry Internet Service. It gives your BlackBerry access to the Internet. It’s like an ISP, but for your smart-phone instead of your home computer.  Every time your BlackBerry gets an email, or accesses a webpage, it does so through BIS (unless you’re using BES)

BIS  Structure Diagram

What is BES?
BES stands for BlackBerry Enterprise Server. It gives your BlackBerry access to a corporate intranet. The intranet is the private, internal, network within a company. It’s kind of like a mini-internet that is cut off from the rest of the world. Many intranets allow you to communicate with the Internet as well, but with added layers of security.

BES  Structure Diagram

The Differences
Both BES and BIS allow your BlackBerry to get email, as well as retrieve webpages and use third-party applications (like WICKSoft Mobile Documents!). All traffic from your phone goes to the BES / BIS server, and then the BES / BIS server communicates with the world on your behalf.

The difference, ultimately, lies in where the server resides and the level of control and security you get.

In the case of BIS, your carrier operates the server. Everything from BIS to your handheld is encrypted, but that’s about the extent of the security features. The carrier can decide what applications run on your phone, and how applications communicate with the Internet.

For BES, your company operates the server, and usually has it sitting somewhere within the corporate network. The IT department controls all aspect of the BES server, and it’s likely sitting in a nice and secure location.

So really, what does this mean?
It’s all about privacy. In the case of BIS, everything operates on a public network.  Data from your phone to your carrier is encrypted, but ultimately your carrier is communicating with the Internet, which isn’t exactly the pinnacle of a secure environment. The odds of somebody intercepting your data, or worse, compromising the different systems you access, are much higher. I don’t want to scare anyone though: BIS is typically more secure than accessing the Internet from home using an ISP, and is WAY more secure than using WiFi or BlueTooth.

With BES, most of your data remains in a private, closed network.  Your BlackBerry has a secure link directly to the corporate environment, because the BES server is located in the office somewhere. The only way for someone to monitor or intercept your data would be for them to infiltrate your organization.

So think of it like this: In the BIS case, a guy with an envelope (your data / email) is running around New York City trying to deliver the package to you—hopefully you can trust him, and hopefully nobody thumps him over the head and takes the envelope.   For BES, the guy delivering the envelope is walking around inside a secure compound, among trusted people who have proper security clearance, and cameras are monitoring his every move as he travels the 50 feet from his desk to your desk.

Wait, there’s more!
I’ve been overly simplistic in my description of BES.  BES really does a whole lot more than just fetch email.  For one, it acts just like a VPN in the sense that in makes sure ALL data travelling between your BlackBerry and your office is encrypted.

Also, BES provides tools to publish applications, and define how those applications can interact with the phone and the network.

Imagine that you have 500 BlackBerrys in your organization, and you want to install an application (like WICKSoft Mobile Documents) on each of the phones.  BES will let you ‘push’ a copy of the application to each of the phones without ever having to physically touch a single device. You don’t have to worry about an end-user making a configuration mistake, or forgetting to install the application.  It’s all done automatically, and securely.

BES also lets you remotely wipe and lock a device.  This is very useful for those cases where people forget their BlackBerrys in the back of a taxi, or have them stolen.

Restrictions
Not all wireless carriers offer the same level of BIS service. Some of you are unlucky enough to be stuck with one that restricts third-party applications from accessing the Internet. This means that a lot of excellent third-party applications for the BlackBerry are simply unavailable.

With BES there are no inherent restrictions, because your company gets to decide all of these things.  Want GoogleTalk to work, but not Yahoo! Messenger? No problem: BES lets your company enable one, and cripple the other.

In conclusion
BIS provides a direct link between your phone and your wireless provider, but after that all traffic essentially goes out over the Internet.  Any and all security becomes the responsibility of the BlackBerry application in question, so there are no security guarantees.  That said, BIS does a good job at providing Internet and email support and, best of all– you don’t have to set anything up.

BES provides what is essentially a direct link between your phone and your office environment.  It’s very secure, flexible, and gives your company control over all aspects of the BlackBerry.  There is a certain ‘baseline’ security inherent in all data transactions, and your IT department can always disable your BlackBerry if it’s been compromised.

Smaller companies, or individuals, are well served by BIS—it provides you with almost everything you need.  Larger organizations, with their own internal mail systems and other infrastructure, should definitely be using BES.

Blackberry Handheld Hidden Secret Codes

Blackberry secret codes for hidden menus work a bit differently to all other manufacturers since you don’t use the *#code# sequence but rather activate most of the codes by holding the ALT key. As always it is right to point out that these are not some magic Blackberry hacks just the codes to access the hidden menu systems which people commonly refer to as the Blackberry secret codes. To use these codes you just have to enter the key sequence as specified.

*#06#	Displays the IMEI (home screen)

History Of Research In Motion

Research In Motion

                      Research In Motion Limited or RIM is a Canadian multinational telecommunications company headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario , Canada that designs, manufactures and markets wireless solutions for the worldwide mobile communications market. RIM provides platforms and solutions for access to information, including e-mail, voice, instant messaging, short message service (SMS), Internet and intranet-based applications and browsing. RIM’s portfolio includes the BlackBerry wireless solution, the RIM Wireless Handheld product line, software development tools and other software and hardware. It was founded by Mike Lazaridis, who currently serves as its co-CEO along with Jim Balsillie.

History

Prior to the manufacture of the BlackBerry, RIM worked with RAM Mobile Data and Ericsson to turn the Ericsson-developed Mobitex wireless data network into a two-way paging and wireless e-mail network. Pivotal in this development was the release of the Inter@ctive pager 950, which started shipping in August 1998. About the size of a bar of soap, this device competed against the SkyTel two-way paging network developed by Motorola.

RIM’s early development was financed by Canadian institutional and venture capital investors in 1995 through a private placement in the privately-held company. Working Ventures Canadian Fund Inc. led the first venture round

with a C$5,000,000 investment with the proceeds being used to complete the development of RIM’s two-way paging system hardware and software. A total of C$30,000,000 in pre-IPO financing was raised by the company prior to its initial public offering on the Toronto Stock Exchange in January, 1998 under the symbol RIM.

Since then, RIM has released a variety of devices running on GSM, CDMA, and iDEN networks. The ubiquity of these BlackBerry devices in the corporate environment and the compulsive use of its ability to quickly send and receive e-mail has earned it the nickname “Crackberry” in a reference to crack cocaine as users feel they cannot live without it.

In 2006 Research In Motion and Information Appliance Associates reached a licensing agreement whereby RIM would offer the complete version of PocketMac for BlackBerry to Macintosh users free of charge.

In October 2008, RIM was named one of “Canada’s Top 100 Employers” by Mediacorp Canada Inc., and was featured in Maclean’s newsmagazine.

RIM announced in February 2009 that they were expanding their global operations by opening an office and training facility in North Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Just across the Harbour Bridge, ten minutes from the Sydney CBD, the new RIM offices were formally unveiled by Mr Thomas A.MacDonald, Consul General of Canada, at a ceremony attended by dignitaries from the New South Wales Government and North Sydney Council, as well as RIM’s partners and customers. The new office features training facilities, a research and development centre, a strategic partner marketing centre and technical support services.^[6] Total workforce provides 12,000 jobs world wide.

In June 2009 RIM has announced they were acquiring Dash Navigation, makers of the Dash Express.In August 2009, RIM acquired Torch Mobile, enabling the inclusion of a Webkit-based browser on their Blackberry devices.

On August 18, 2009, Fortune Magazine named RIM as the fastest growing company in the world with a growth of 84% in profits over three years despite the recession.

On March 26, 2010, the company announced acquisition of BlackBerry applications developer Viigo, a Toronto-based company. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

RIM reached an agreement with Harman International on April 12, 2010, for RIM to acquire QNX Software Systems. “RIM is excited about the planned acquisition of QNX Software Systems and we look forward to ongoing collaboration between Harman, QNX and RIM to further integrate and enhance the user experience between smartphones and in-vehicle audio and infotainment systems,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at RIM. “In addition to our interests in expanding the opportunities for QNX in the automotive sector and other markets, we believe the planned acquisition of QNX will also bring other value to RIM in terms of supporting certain unannounced product plans for intelligent peripherals, adding valuable intellectual property to RIM’s portfolio and providing long-term synergies for the companies based on the significant and complementary OS expertise that exists within the RIM and QNX teams today.”

On September 27, 2010, RIM announced the long rumoured BlackBerry PlayBook tablet computer. The BlackBerry PlayBook was officially released to US and Canadian consumers on April 19, 2011.

As of May 2010, RIM OS held 10.4% of the smartphone operating system market.

On Jun 30, 2011, an investor push for the company to split its dual-CEO structure was unexpectedly withdrawn after an agreement was made with RIM. RIM announced that after discussions between the two groups, Northwest & Ethical Investments will withdraw its shareholder proposal before RIM’s annual meeting.

In June 2011, the company has announced the prediction of Q1 2011 revenue which will drop for the first time in nine years and also unveiled plans to reduce jobs. It is followed by the market which the stock dropped to its lowest level since 2006.Since June 2008 to June 2011, RIM’s shareholders lost almost $70 billion or 82 percent as the biggest decline among communications-equipment providers, from $83 billion at 3 years before to current $13.6 billion.

In July 2011, the company axed 2,000 jobs, the biggest lay-off in its history. The lay-off reduced the workforce of the company by around 11% in one stroke from 19,000 to 17,000.

In September 2011, RIM decided to build assembly factory (hardware) in Malaysia rather in Indonesia, but Indonesia will become the Blackberry’s application and market research center (software).

On October 10, 2011, RIM experienced one of the worst service outages in the company’s history. Tens of millions of BlackBerry users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and North America were unable to receive or send emails and BBM messages through their phones.  The outage was caused as a result of a core switch failure, “A transition to a back-up switch did not function as tested, causing a large backlog of data, RIM said.” Service was restored Thursday 13th October, with RIM announcing a $100 package of free premium apps for users and enterprise support extensions

Patent litigation

Since the turn of the century, RIM has been embroiled in a series of suits relating to alleged patent infringement.

In 2001, Research In Motion sued competitor Glenayre Electronics^[25] Inc for patent infringement, partly in response to an earlier infringement suit filed by Glenayre against RIM. RIM sought an injunction to prevent Glenayre from infringing on RIM’s “Single Mailbox Integration” patent. The suit was ultimately settled in favour of RIM.

In June 2002, Research In Motion filed suit against 2000 start-up and competitor Good Technology. RIM filed additional complaints through-out the year.In March 2004, Good agreed to a licensing deal, thereby settling the outstanding litigation.

On September 16, 2002, Research In Motion was awarded a patent pertaining to keyboard design on hand-held e-mail devices. Upon receiving the patent, it proceeded to sue Handspring over its Treo device.^[28][30] Handspring eventually agreed to license RIM’s patent and avoid further litigation in November of the same year.

During the appeals, RIM discovered new prior art that raised a “substantial new question of patentability” and filed for a reexamination of the NTP patents in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. That reexamination was conducted separately to the court cases for infringement. In February 2006, the USPTO rejected all of NTP’s claims in three disputed patents. NTP has appealed the decision, and the reexamination process is still outgoing as of July 2006 (See NTP, Inc. for details).

On March 3, 2006, RIM announced that it had settled its BlackBerry patent dispute with NTP. Under the terms of the settlement, RIM has agreed to pay NTP US$612.5 million in a “full and final settlement of all claims.” In a statement, RIM said that “all terms of the agreement have been finalized and the litigation against RIM has been dismissed by a court order this afternoon. The agreement eliminates the need for any further court proceedings or decisions relating to damages or injunctive relief.”^{[citation needed]}

On July 17, 2003, while still embroiled in litigation with NTP and Good Technology, RIM filed suit against Xerox in the U.S. District of Hartford, Connecticut. The suit was filed in response to discussions about patents held by Xerox that might affect RIM’s business, and also asks that patents held by Xerox be invalidated.

On May 1, 2006, RIM was sued by Visto for infringement of four patents.Though the patents were widely considered invalid and in the same veins as the NTP patents – with a judgement going against Visto in the U.K.^[34][35] – RIM settled the lawsuit in the United States on July 16, 2009, with RIM agreeing to pay Visto US$267.5M plus other undisclosed terms.

On January 22, 2010, Motorola requested that all BlackBerry smartphones be banned from being imported into the United States for infringing upon five of Motorola’s patents. Their patents for “early-stage innovations”, including UI, power management and WiFi, are in question.^[37] RIM countersued later the same day, alleging anti-competitive behaviour and that Motorola had broken a 2003 licensing agreement by refusing to extend licensing terms beyond 2008.^[38] The companies settled out of court on June 11, 2010

RIM stock option scandal settlement

In 2007 Co-CEO Jim Balsillie was forced to resign as chairman as the company announced a $250-million earnings restatement relating to mistakes in how it granted stock options. Furthermore, an internal review found that hundreds of stock-option grants had been backdated, timed to a low share price to make them more lucrative.

In January 2009, Canadian regulators stated that they were seeking a record penalty of $80 million USD from the top two executives, Co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis. Furthermore, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has pushed for Balsillie to pay the bulk of any penalty and relinquish his seat on RIM’s board of directors for a period of time.

On February 5, 2009, several executives and directors of Research In Motion agreed to pay the penalties to settle an investigation into the backdating of stock options. The Ontario Securities Commission approved the arrangement in a closed-door meeting.

Under the terms of a settlement agreement with the OSC, RIM co-chief executive officers Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, as well as chief operating officer Dennis Kavelman, will jointly pay a total of $68-million (CDN) to RIM to reimburse the company for losses from the backdating and for the costs of a long internal investigation. The three are also required to pay $9-million (CDN) to the OSC.

Mr. Balsillie will step down from RIM’s board of directors for a year, but will remain in his executive role

Breaking News APP

Breaking News for BlackBerry enters open beta – Get a scrolling news widget for your homescreen

I’m a big news consumption guy when it comes to my BlackBerry. I like to have everything at my fingertips so I don’t miss a beat. I follow loads of news sites on Twitter and also have RSS feeds pumped to me nonstop. Having a scrolling “widget” on the homescreen is something I’ve wanted for ages but didn’t think we’d ever see. Well our good friend Shao has proven me wrong with the beta release of BreakingNews. The app is brand new and currently in open beta, but it already looks to be a best seller. The premise is simple – enter a few RSS feeds, choose your options and let the good times scroll. BreakingNews shows a ticker on your homescreen and runs through the RSS feeds, showing you the latest news. Currently you can choose the display options like border and font color, set the refresh interval as well as enter up to 5 different feeds. Already a winner in my book, you can get in on the open beta via the forums thread below. Check it out!
