BlackBerry on Windows Mobile?

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - December 18, 2008


The BlackBerry Application Suite (BAS) is out and it's getting good reviews. BlackBerry Application Suite runs on Windows Mobile 6 devices and provides almost exactly the same experience as RIM's OS. You basically have a BlackBerry within Windows Mobile.

There are a few limitations however.

  • Blackberry Maps is there but it is not location aware.
  • It cannot access physical hardware, such as GPS, Bluetooth, though since calls are through WM, you can use a BT headset.
  • Video play is not supported.
  • You can install most BB apps, though some may not support VGA resolutions (should be fine on HTC Kaiser, as it is QVGA)
  • Currently not all WM devices are supported, only HTC Kaiser, HTC Raphael and HTC Niki. Xperia X1 support is coming down the pipe.
  • App uses 32 Mb (1Mbx32 files) to simulate BB filesystem


    BerryReview has the details so check the link below for more information.
