Very nice and I am glad I did not have to abandon this fine product after switching to a BB Storm. Suggestion: It would greatly facilitate ease-of-use for Storm users if the program could switch to landscape mode. I WILL buy this program when the beta phase is ended.

@Matt H: That feature, AutoPass, is only available on Windows via IE. Sorry, Matt.

I installed the Beta on my BB Verizon 8330 and have two wallets that sync fine. My question has to do with username and password. When I click on the web link in my ewallet, it does not load the username and password. What am I doing wrong? is there a webpage with instructions for advanced users. I have been a user for many years and versions.

Got it working, I just need to leave the “ewallet syncronized” and the “Run add-in actions” checked in the options for the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software.

Just switched to the BB Storm and panicked that I would no longer have ewallet. Then I found the beta. Installed great and am up and going with my ewallet data. Please fix the landcape view in ewallet!

Been a long time ewallet user. I just went from a treo 700w to a Blackberry Storm. I see above one person can not install on the storm and another did but it only works in portrait view. Really need my ewallet info available and don’t really want to switch to another vendor (data vault for one is availale for the storm). Any idea when it will be available for the storm either beta or purchase? Thanks.

I got everything working, but step #4.

4) Configure Desktop Manager to sync your particular wallet file.

I don’t think I’m doing it propertly, need advice.
Anyone can tell me the steps to configure Desktop Manager to sync your particular wallet file.

Thanks

Thanks to Kevin!
We just installed the latest version of eWallet on the BlackBerry Storm. We had been using a Treo700w for years with eWallet runiing and keeping our “stuff” secure. The new version (beta) had some install glitches but Kevin walked us through them all. Nice job! The only problem with the Storm is that the keyboard default orientation is in the portrait mode requiring the use of the 3 letter per key usage….ugggggh! Blackberry said that the accelerometer built into the Storm to allow for landscape keyboard usage, is up to the vendor (eWallet) to be enabled…that would sure make entering data and passwords mucho easier to enter…other than that, bang on guys!

Thanks again
Paulk

@Everyone: In general, if you are having a technical problem with the beta (i.e a bug, crash, totally unexpected behavior), visit the WebIS beta forum and post there about it. The actual developers of the Blackberry version are reading that forum so they’ll see your problems without them having to filter through several different people.

The forum’s here: (http://www.pocketinformant.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=13431)

@Mario, Manuel: I would suggest going over to the WebIS Beta forum with your installation problems. I don’t know what the problem is; I have seen problems installing via the Blackberry simulator software on the desktop and it may just be something with Desktop Manager itself. In fact, DM told me that there were no application updates necessary and I didn’t have to do anything, and then proceeded to install the latest update anyway!

@Ruben: You will need the latest desktop version of eWallet to convert your data into the right format. You can use the trial for now, but if you stick with the Blackberry you will eventually need to buy the upgrade since the trial will run out.

If your iPAQ runs Pocket PC 2003 (CE 4.2) or newer, and you still want to sync with it, you’ll also need to install (and eventually purchase) the 6.1.3 version for it as well. If your iPAQ runs Pocket PC 2002, you will no longer be able to sync your current desktop eWallet data to it *and* also sync with your Blackberry. eWallet 6.1.3 only supports 2003 or newer.

You should not need to create a wallet on the Blackberry first. The sync add-in will see that there is no matching wallet on the device and copy your data over the first time.

In short: 1) Install latest desktop eWallet. 2) Open your existing wallet to convert it. 3) Install the BB beta. 4) Configure Desktop Manager to sync your particular wallet file.
