Title: Blackberry pearl.....
Post by: ytuxedo002 on May 13, 2008, 09:21:35 pm: I haven't been able to find anything on this issue with the search function. If there is please point me to it...if not...has anybody got LMCE to work on a pearl yet?? if so are there any instructions on how to do it?

Thanks in advanced.

BTW: i'm a linux noob so don't be too rough.

If you have the latest firmware for your bb then it should work - however, getting the orbiter downloaded onto the phone can be difficult if it is in "enterprise mode" meaning it is a corporate bb connected to your corporate email system as this means your company can easily set security restrictions that will prevent you from installing the software. If it is just a "retail" bb then you should be able to install it using the instructions hari set.
