Hi All<br />
<br />
We are running BES 4.1.7 MR2.<br />
<br />
I understand that users can actually use Wi-Fi to access BES services. So, say they were at an airport, they could connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot and use that to send/recv email and so forth. I guess this would be useful if there was a poor 3G/GPRS signal, but there was Wi-Fi around.<br />
<br />
What I don't understand is what I need to do on my Blackberry (Bold 9000) to configure this? I've searched the net but can't find much, can someone advise?

Using Wi-Fi for Blackberry services (BES)

The BlackBerry operating system is proprietary; releases beginning with BlackBerry 10 include support for applications written for the Android platform. As such, developers can use almost any programming language that can be used for other smartphones, including Java, Adobe Air, .NET and HTML5/JS (via an app packaging framework like PhoneGap) .

BlackBerry Programming

BlackBerry is a line of wireless handheld devices and services designed and marketed by BlackBerry Limited. BlackBerry devices can record video, take photos, play music and also provide functions such as Web-browsing, email messaging, instant messaging, and the multi-platform BlackBerry Messenger service, and specializes in secure communications and mobile productivity.
