That's why I state that you must request it. Keep in mind that it will be a special request (as this is unsupported software), so you have to somehow convince them to contact RIM to do it. I'm sure they will do what it takes to satisfy their customer. RIM certainly has the capabilities of putting pins in there manually, although they will tell you that they can't guarantee it will work. Make sure to click "Register Now" after you provision your Internet account. Then RIM should be able to track that PIN # and associate it to Vodafone UK's approved pin list.

I did select 'Register Now'. So in theory my pin might get added on for me automatically? Else I'll try getting it stored while at work tomorrow

There is a good chance that it will be added automatically. The one quick way to confirm that it was added successfully is if the software returns a message that sais your blackberry has successfully been registered. However, it doesn't guarantee that you will be able to create a NEW online account. If you have a current account it should prompt you to change to the new PIN as all PIN numbers are associated to your mobile account anyway. These are only precautionary warnings for those that have issues with the online account registration.

I've got a work blackberry already so I just stuck that simcard in and went to change my handheld. At which point it said it didn't reconise my PIN\\IMEI combination and to contact customer services!

It definately should sync. The calendar and contact sync has never really been a general issue even with the P900/P910 series. I've only seen isolated reports of this issue. In that case, I would just attempt to reconcile. Or better yet send a test calendar request meeting and see if you get it. If all else fails, delete the service books and resync to the configuration tool and have it load it over again.

ok i was mistaken the calender does work its just the contacts. I tried deleting all the service books and relaoding them through the desktop software but still no go with the contacts.

also when i do an address lookup it just times out
