Hi all

Apologies if this is discussed elsewhere - my frazzled brain couldn't see anything on this topic...

I have a Nokia E61 on o2 and have just had Unlimited Blackberry added to my contract. Now, despite solid days of websearching I cannot find one simple document to tell me what to do next and CPW and o2 were useless.

According to my phone, Blackberry is installed but it's not coming up in any of the email settings at all. Do I need to do it through the computer? Do I need to download software? Does anyone know?

At the moment I'm accessing Gmail through the standard email route but can't see how to change it to anything else at all.

Oh, and I'm on a Mac, and I've got a horrid feeling this is going to need a PC...

Sorry for the rant but any help would be appreciated - I've been trying to work this out for days and I'm not usually defeated by technology

Hi Reg

Thanks for that - I'm a big step nearer now! One problem seemed to be wrong BB software on phone so now have correct one and it says it's switched on.

My big problem now seems to be where to get the PIN. Have used what is supposed to be the PIN, on the box etc but it won't play ball.

EDIT: OK, found that. Now the website won't let me set a password. Someone up there doesn't want me to do this...

The Pin should be under the battery or behind your phone when you lift the battery cover. Thats where the pin is for blackberry devices and I am sure thats where the Pin is for the nokia blackberry device you have.

Go to this site: http://www.o2email.co.uk/

click on new account

Tick the accept terms and conditions box

then type in your PIN as i said should be on the back of the phone itself, and then your imei.

Once logged on to the site, you will be able to add your other email accounts like yahoo etc and it should be up and running on your blackberry device.

Barstewards!

That would explain the sheer awkwardness of the process. Visiting my brother this evening then...

Thanks for your help, Reg. I'm nearly there...
