Blackberry 8900 & TomTom Traffic Service
As the title suggests I need help with this - is it TomTom (they say not) Blackberry or Orange that I need to speak to to get my phone and my TomTom 910 to work together to give me the traffic data?

Some people have got it to work though with a little hacking: http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.p..._510_/_910_GPS I have Vodafone SatNav (rebranded Telemap) on my Bold and it works well |

Thanks for taking the time to post this for me. And I thought it was going to work but at the last stage I just got the dreaded message saying that I could not connect to TomTom Plus services.
I had a look at the manual information that follows the original instructions but that didn't seem to include anything for Orange UK. Incidentally that link seems to break my copy of IE8 but works fine with CHROME! |

sorted
I did a manual network search under the network services options on the blackberry and selected another network then switched it back to automatic. I waited for my network to come back and then started the pairing process again. On the tomtom options, select blackberry 8310 and network select orange wap contract as the 8900 is 2.5g at best orange contract would require faster connectivity.
This has so far resolved the issue. Regards The bigger son. |

And the answer from Orange
This is exactly as the text appeared on my phone complete with punctuation and spelling. I have replied saying that I won't be renewing my contract with them and wished them a good day!
Message from Orange as follows:- hello from orange with ref your email unfortunately you are unable to use your handset with your tom tom due to the orage software thank you |

Orange sell their own sat nav software, so they probably don't like you going to competitors!
