Hi I have an old BB model 8830. Anyone here knows how to get Chinese input working on 8830? Your help is much appreciated!

I followed instructions from the original post, but the blackberry download site does not have a link to the 8830. I tried downloading the file for 8820 and 8800 and neither works…

Thanks for the wonderful instructions Junjie! I can now read chinese on my Bold 9700. The installed OS version is now v5.0.0.862 (Bundle 1446, Platform 5.1.0.175). I am a newbie to BB, and hope you don’t mind answer these questions:

1. My Bold was locked to my phone carrier. Does it mean that the phone is now unlocked?

2. I am confused about BB Desktop Software and BB Desktop Manager. Before I follow your instructions to add chinese, I installed the software on the BB CD, and Desktop Manager 5.0 …was installed. The Desktop Manager was running until after I added chinese, and have the phone connected to my PC, then the Desktop Manager keep crashing. I have to uninstalled it and now installed BB Desktop software version 6.0.0.40. and work fine. Are the Desktop Manager and Desktop Software the same?

3. I could not seem to find any Adobe Reader for BB. Is there a way to read pdf file?

Thanks a lot.

Hi! I use a Blackberry Curve 8530 and I cannot find the model on the web site. I tried downloading the OS for Curve 8520 but nothing happened. What should I do? On my Blackberry I can read Chinese but can’t input Chinese. Please help me!

hey there, thanks a lot!

i used your guide two times by now. a chinese woman recently joined our company and she asked if it’s possible to write emails in chinese language on a blackberry.
today, a friend of her asked me for helping her, too

a shame that rim doesnt manage to do this on their own.

greetings,

Christela,
read my article again.

Brian,
get the latest Version of the Desktop Manager and install it and also get the latest version of the BlackBerry OS for your device from your carriers website.

Then follow through the steps in my article above, but use the BlackBerry OS from your vendor for your device instead of a Chinese version.

You won’t get Chinese on your BlackBerry this way, but you will at least get your BlackBerry back to its initial state. After that you can get on with experimenting.

Hello Terrence,

I’m also using Opera Mini without any problems. Maybe some other reader can answer or you might want to look at the Opera Mini Community Forums:
