Upgrading Blackberry Software is essential in order to ensure your device stay updated with the latest software update and enhancement as well as secured from potential hidden threat. Beside Desktop Manager, you can also update it online by connecting directly to RIM website from your carrier or telco provider website.
The following steps is written based on what Celcom had for its users, but it may applied to other telcos as well (except probably for BES update)
1. Point your browser to Celcom Biz web page. Wait until image marked below appear on the screen.
2. Choose either BIS or BES upgrade depend on what your Blackberry device is using.
3a – For BIS update, follow the steps instructed in the web page
I spot ‘probably’ new BIS package from Celcom, BIS68 priced at RM68 at Bluecube website when I was looking for affordable postpaid BIS. Before this, Celcom has 2 BIS packages for consumer (not biz), priced at RM38 (limited at 1MB) and RM98 (unlimited) per month respectively. It’s either too low or too high for certain users to subscribe.
Having BIS68 is simply filling up that vacuum. With 5GB data limit, it is pretty much cheaper and better alternative to users who subscribe to BIS Advance for Xpax prepaid which priced at RM2.50 per-day. Full month usage will cost you RM75, but with BIS68, you have saved RM7 per month.
One thing that holding me off is , in order to subscribe BIS68 package, you’re required to subscribe to voice/sms package with minimum RM50 per month commitment. Seriously, I don’t talk/sms that much.
Good news for the new comer, you’re also eligible to buy subsidizedBlackberry Curve 8520 depend on the package you choose . Table below should be able to answer most of your question.
I know it is little bit outdated, it’s been 2-3 weeks pass since Chromium OS was released. But only today I manage to squeeze some of my time going back to my workstation to read newsletters and testing some new stuff. Due to tight schedule, I even miss PC Fair III!
Remember Dell Mini 10v that I bought last month. Yeah, I finally think that I’ve made a smart purchase Why? Because.. Mini 10v is said capable (and compatible) of running other OS, including Mac OS X. But what I’m going to do soon is to run Chromium OS, (still in downloading progress) directly, without using virtual machines. Thanks to this fella who has created the image for Mini 10V.
I’m not sure how tough it would be, but I’ll post the progress soon after completion. Why am I doing this? Well, because it’s pity that the Mini 10 V just laying beside doing nothing productive
Btw, among other things that I did last week is enroll and taking ITIL certification, thanks God, it’s over now If you’re working on IT services related industry, you may want to take a look of what ITIL has for your career path.
Notes: This is gonna be a little bit personal..
I was an engineer 2 years back, resigned, and enjoying the moment as a mother of a very chubby son. It’s only recently that the feeling of getting back to work grows again. Since early this year, had started applying for government posts. I really wanted a gov job since it’d be a better job for a woman with a kid, comparing to an engineering job. Of course it’d be less exciting or challenging. Since the job offer seemed to be such a waiting, I started to apply for engineering posts, it’s not that easy to get an interview, but with God’s will, been to a couple of interviews, and currently awaiting the result of the most previous one.
On one sunny day, a letter from UKM arrived in the postbox, it’s an invitation to sit for an exam for one post of Pegawai Tadbir !!! Was so very happy until I discovered the heartbreaking fact, the exam was on 25th November 2009 !!!!
The mail stamped at 19th Nov, with the mail dated 13th Nov, but it got to my hand on 2nd December 2009 !!!!!!!! The route from Seri Kembangan to Bangi would’ve taken only around 20mins by car, and the mail, took 14days. It was really really heartbreaking, especially to someone who missed a desired job opportunity because of a delayed mail. A ‘tragedy’ once published and aired on paper and news, now became one of my experience. Pos Malaysia should really monitor their employees because things like this is not considered a small matter. Nevertheless, it’s the ethics within oneself that determines how one works, and lead their life.
