What RIM needs to do with the Blackberry playbook

I am really excited about the Blackberry playbook and I think the hype is warranted. There are a few things that RIM should do to dominate the market:

  1. Come up with a way to get ipad apps working FLAWLESSLY on the Blackberry Playbook. This would most likely involve using a conversion process. We all know it’s the apps that made the ipad the ipad. By allowing Blackberry users to have access to thousands of apps right of the hop would be a huge boon to RIM. They should offer this as a FREE software download and make it very user friendly.
  2. Make sure to tweak the powersetting on the device. Because it is so much more powerfull then the ipad they have to make sure it isn’t a juice bug.
  3. Don’t forget who where you came from and who REALLY loves you RIM! Businesses are what got you to where you are. Make sure that the devices are secure and play well in business environments. Remember it’s the consumer market where your image will come from. Don’t play second fiddle to Apple or Google.
  4. Continue to improve BES. BES is a server software that allows Blackberry to sync with Server Software like Microsoft Exchange. Honestly this is the one two punch because there is no other phone provider that allows you to do this. If it wasn’t for BES Rim you’d be in MUCH worse shape. I applaud you for giving BES express away free to small businesses.
  5. Make sure that it looks good and feels good. You also have to make sure it more rugged then the ipad.

How to change the Blackberry Maximum Security Time out Policy

There is most likely three ways you can change the Blackberry Maximum Security Timeout. The first way is on the phone. If you can not change it on the phone then there is a policy enforcing the Blackberry maximum time out.

I will first go over how to change the Blackberry Maximum Security time on Blackberry Manager:

On the Home screen click on:

  1. Global Properties
  2. IT Policy
  3. In IT Policies click the “…” box
  4. Select the policy you want to change
  5. Click Properties…
  6. Click Device-Only Items
  7. Select Maximum Security Timeout

 

Your screen should look like this:

When entering the number keep in mind you can’t just enter any number. You have to follow what Blackberry wants you to set as the Maximum Security Timeout Policy.

The numbers you can use are:

So for example 3hrs is not an option. You can however select 2hrs or 4hrs.

This is the replacement for Blackberry Manager. I find it is much easier to find the Blackberry Maximum Security timeout setting in this application.

To change the security timeout follow these steps:

  1. Login to the web interface
  2. Click on Policy
  3. Click “Manage IT Policies”.
  4. Click on the IT policy.

In the policy Click on “Edit policy

Click on Device only.

Click on the The Maximum Security Timeout text box. The valid range for the value of this rule is 10 through 480 minutes.

Change the Blackberry Maximum Security Timeout on the Blackberry phone:

Once you have changed the policy on the server or if you aren’t under policy control then you can easily change the settings on the phone:

How to change the Blackberry Maximum Security Time out Policy 07

Change the Security timeout to what ever time the device will allow you to change it to.

BES admin Caller-id name blocked on "locked" blackberry

I just learned today that there is no way of automatically configuring the Blackberry through a policy to allow the call display to work while locked. You can force the policy so that a user can NOT enable the display of the contacts while locked, you can’t do the opposite. As you can see from the screen shot below I’ve highlighted the *NOTE* in question.

BES admin Caller-id name blocked on "locked" blackberry

*BOTH the admin AND the user MUST allow the address book to be excluded from content protection. Otherwise the address book contents ARE CONTENT PROTECTED.

To allow the contacts to be excluded you must either have “False” selected.

Next on the Blackberry hand held you must follow these steps:


Options -> Security -> General Settings -> Include Address Book –> set to "No"


For the Full write up on the policy:
