BlackBerry Pearl

I've been using the incredible Salling Clicker for a few years now, on everything from Sony Ericsson to WM5 and Palm. I love this software!

I just bought the BlackBerry Pearl and forgot to check for Clicker compatibility first (oops). To my surprise, this is probably my favorite phone of all that I've owned, and it seems perfect for Clickerization, if possible.

Any plans for supporting the BlackBerry Pearl? I apologize if this has been asked before, this is my first trek to the forums.

I have also been using salling clicker for a while and can no longer use it on my new Blackberry Pearl.

Support would be very much appriciated.

I'd be more than willing to pay for Blackberry Pearl support. Any consideration (well, in a positive sense) is appreciated.

I am waiting to buy a Pearl but Salling clicker is the only thing holding me from doing it.

Is there anything we could do to get this support in motion? I read somewhere that Salling Software doesn't develope for the Blackberries becasue they are unaware of demand. Demand im sure is high and even if not that's still potential market for Salling Software, seems like a smart thing to do.

Just my thoughts. Please let us know about support.

So far, we're holding out for RIM to add JSR82-support (Bluetooth) to Java in their devices.

One way to make a Clicker version for BB more likely (sooner) would be to request that RIM get JSR82 in there.

Best.

Once a JSR-82 update is released, what would be involved in porting Clicker over to the Blackberry platform?

If Clicker can be ported over, the Blackberry Pearl may very well be my next phone.

I've been using it on my T637 and my Dell Axim, and it's just an incredible application.

I've got a BlackBerry 8700, and I'd love to use its BlueTooth capability with Salling Clicker. Please support this!!!

Thanks.

In the meantime, I'm going to still use my defunct Sony Ericsson T616, which I now only use for Salling Clicker--I took out the SIM card after I got my BlackBerry, but it still is a great remote for Keynote and PowerPoint!

best,

Don

While the Pearl may not support JSR-82, I believe that RIM does have an API available. The maps application that comes preloaded on the phone can access the Bluetooth, so there has to be a way to do it. Support for the Pearl would be amazing!

RIM Contact Info is here:

Looks like help@rim.com is the one to go for.

I am very very interested in having support for the Pearl. Please bring sailing clicker to those of us on the Pearl! We will love you for it!

I e-mailed RIM regarding JSR82 support on the Pearl. I received the following response:

I've managed to log into clicker via my palm device over grps-- all it required was a little port forwarding. It's obviously a little less user friendly a solution, but has controlling clicker over IP in such a manner been considered for the blackberry?

So once RIM releases JDE 4.2.1 how hard will it be to add Pearl support to clicker?

It looks like the release is out (for some people!)
