Hi.
I recently updated my phone software in India over the internet and since i had to then download the Blackberry Connect software and to my shock and surprise Nokia is not ready with the software for Blackberry Connect on the E90
400.34.93 is the new version which is of 21-04-2009 on the RA-6 Nokia E90 Model.
I called the Bangalore call centre and was on 10 Minute STD call and the guys were least helpful. Then i register on there customer service mails and an apologetic reply comes.
No one knows till date when the software for Blackberry for the version 400.34.93 will come and till then my phone is like an ordinary phone. After spending Rs.35,000 and this is my second E90 in the past 2 years as the first ones body had all scratches and was not presentable which is a design flaw, this is the kind of service we now have to expect from NOKIA.
I asked them to give me a New Phone or an alternate phone till the time i get the software which they are supposed to provide but they seem to be too charged up in their success.
can any one tell when they are coming with the new software as my work is stuck on the blackberry and i have all my mailing in a soup now.
Thanks

I am having the same problems as you here in Singapore. Accidentally updated my E90 firmware to 400.34.93. Am now stuck with no updated Blackberry Connect software to match the new firmware 400.34.93.
This is really no acceptable. And I just found out that it is not possible for me to uninstall / downgrade my firmware.
Like you, the surface of the E90 has peeling problems, even on the inside surface next to the screen. Definitely not presentable, and not what I expect of such a premium phone.
I hope someon from Nokia is reading all these feedback, and give us a reply when we can expect an updated Blackberry Connect software.
Really stranded now with BB...

Sandeep and fellow E90 users
Sometimes, it's better to help ourselves.
I re-installed Nokia S60 BlackBerry Connect 4.0 vers. 8.23.1 (.SISX, 2,89 MB) that was originally developed for E90 firmware 300.34.84.
Vers. 8.23.1 appears to also work (keeping my fingers crossed) well at the moment for emails synching, for the new firmware 400.34.93
Go to http://www.businesssoftware.nokia.com/blackberry_d
for BlackBerry Connect 4.0 vers. 8.23.1
I have to do try 2 times before the BlackBerry Connect 4.0 vers. 8.23.1 worked properly on my E90.
During the first time, after the firmware upgrade and re-installing the backup data (that was saved before the firmware upgrade) using Nokia Suite, I found that the backup process did not re-install the BB Connect 8.23.1 automatically. So I re-installed BlackBerry Connect 4.0 vers. 8.23.1 using Nokia PC Suite, then did an activation on the BB.
However, activation stalled at 88% completion and "freeze" up. By then, I see 2 BB inboxes in my Messaging > Folder view.
So I saved my emails in my Outlook on the local PC drive, and then deleted both the BB inboxes in my E90 (Messaging > Options > Delete). Then I go to Installations > app mgr > Options and deleted the BB application totally from my BB.
I re-installed the BB Connect 4.0 vers. 8.23., and did a new activation. [I am using BB Enterprise Server, so I have to get my IT support to re-initialise and give me the password each time i do this activation.] This time, it worked till 100% completion in synch my emails, contacts, calendar, etc.
In the past 6 hours, new emails on BB have been coming in, and i was able to read and reply.
Hope this will continue, and the above info is helpful to others.
