I just found another new OS for the 8320 and this is available for Blackberries of the 8100 (Pearl) , 8300 (Curve) and the 8800(whatever it was called) series.

I do find it to be a  quite a bit faster than the previous releases, (good job RIM).

But my old grievance still remains, that being the instability of the UMA . Now this could also be due to my router so I am not yet totally prepared to blame rim on it , but I do notice its a lot more unstable if you use the bluetooth . Now that part I guess RIM's going to work on.

Now for my UMA problem I have decided to get the latest router from Linksys (Read my my-next-router-it-has-qos-for-uma here)

Am on vacation this week, but am working on a few posts including the new blackberry OS, the new blackberry desktop manager, the new certification exams.

A few IBM Traveler issues that are really baffling especially where the senders name seems to be getting replaced when a mail is forwarded (there's a ghost in the system somewheres!). Till then, .....

I got asked an interesting question.

" we installed the lotus notes client and forgot to select the Single sign on option. Is there a way to add just that or do we have to re-install the entire lotus notes client?"


Well here you go

To install the single client logon feature silently on existing Notes deployed workstations, use the ADD the feature when calling the MSI, for example:


msiexec /i "\\path\to\installfiles\Lotus Notes 8.0.msi" ADDLOCAL=ClientSingleLogon /qb+

and use:

/qn for a completely silent install (no user intervention) WITHOUT progress bar, or

/qb for a silent install (no user intervention) WITH progress bar.

You can add a "+" switch, to see a dialog that states the installation is complete (for example: /qn+ , /qb+ ). this is a nice option to add so the user visually knows when the install is done.

Optionally, you can also hide the cancel button so your users cannot opt to cancel out of the install. just add a " ! " to the arguments ..
example: /qb!+

This is a really small install and only takes a few seconds to execute.

After sucessfull installation, the single client login service has to be started at the workstation. Then, logout and re-authenticate.

At last RIM has woken up to the good ol' saying "keep up or get left out eating the dust". They have announced a phone that is truely gonna give the iPhone a run for its money and based on the specs (read my previous post 3G-Blackberry-and-iPhone-comparison) it might even beat the iPhone on its own turf. The fun part being they have infact taken the race down to the line , releasing on the Blackberry Bold 4 days apart from the iPhone 2.0, and just like the iPhone exclusively on AT&T..
