Programmer needed for full functionality of BB Messenger on a Windows Mobile Device

Brief Introduction:
BlackBerry Connect allows you to have access to the BlackBerry's push e-mail functions as well as receive BlackBerry Messenger IMs from BlackBerry users. This program does not allow you to send new IMs from your device.
BlackBerry Application Suite (BAS) allows you to run a virtual BlackBerry on your Windows Mobile device. This allows you to access the functions of many BlackBerry applications including BlackBerry Messenger, but is currently being testing on on GSM models.
Now, my main goal is to find someone that can allow BlackBerry Messenger to have full functionality on a Windows Mobile CDMA device. I don't care about any other application.
Can anybody take on this project and succeed? Theoretically it is possible we just need someone with the knowledge to do it.
Who can help out the many that are unable to help themselves?
bump any news on this?

I believe this would require someone at RIM to be involved as you would need a BlackBerry PIN number, which would get you access to their server. There is an app out there which allows you to receive BB messages but other than what has been developed by RIM nothing I am aware of that will allow you to send.
It's not possible on any non-RIM device.
The PIN you get when you sign up for bb-connect is only used an as a means of identifying your account in the RIM provisioning tool.

[Q] Help with Exchange email

Hey guys-
I had been using TouchDown Exchange to access my work email. When I first got android I asked my IT department if they could set it up for me but they replied that they "don't support Android, and because there are so many different android phones, they probably wouldn't ever support". Anyways, I found I could use the web-exchange server (http://xxx.xxxxxxxx.com/exchange/) as my domain on the android app and it would end up sync'ing my email to my phone.
I guess they eventually found out I was doing this somehow and they blocked it. They do support the iPhone, though, and through a coworker I was able to get the server and domain that they use.
Is there anyway I can trick the server into thinking I'm using an iPhone so it will allow me to connect and sync? I tried using the "ActiveSync Device String" and setting it to "iPhone" before connecting to the server, but that didn't work. I don't know much about exchange servers if you couldn't tell, but is there a way they can authorize only certain users to connect? Could I potentially borrow my girlfriends iphone, have them set it up on her device, and then once I get the login permissions, switch the info over to my fascinate?
Sorry to any IT administrators out there, I bet this post will annoy you haha. I just want to have email on my phone because I hate walking into work in the morning and getting blindsided by an email that was sent to me at 2am.
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
Our IT department also has a "no android" policy but I figured out that if I left the Domain blank and used the Webmail url as the Exchange server address everything would sync perfectly. I started out using Touchdown but dropped it for the stock email client.
They specifically denied your phone from syncing via ActiveSync? Even with Touchdown, which more fully supports the ActiveSync protocol than even the iPhone? Sounds like your IT guys are morons. I can fully understand not wanting to support Android phones because of all the variances. I know, because I work for an ASP hosting company that does just that. But really, if they wont support Touchdown, they're just shooting themselves in the foot, because that app will work the sane no matter what Android phone it's installed on, meaning you will have a standardized mail platform for Android that supports any and all necessary security features, including full encryption of the local mail database and any data it stores on the SD card.
I don't know if you'll get anywhere with it, but I would recommend showing the the feature list for Touchdown, including the security features, and ask them to support that one app. If you make the case that they only need to support one app for any Android phone, they should be willing to work with you on that.
Besides, every serious corporate user should be using Touchdown anyway. The stock mail client, no matter what Android phone you have, is lacking some of the most basic features, is buggy,and is essentially useless. And if days encryption is required, you're out of luck with the stock clients. Exchange syncing is really an afterthought by Google, and until they make enterprise features and data security a primary focus, things wont get any better.

Oh, and btw, I'm not an expert on the matter, but I know that mobile device syncing can be disabled on a per-user basis. What I'm not sure about is if it can actually allow only certain devices to connect or not.

[Q] Is there anything a rooted user can do to emulate iOS?

My company's corporate exchange servers only support iOS, so I cannot access my mail from my Android phone.
Is there anything that can assist me in emulating iOS to make the company's servers I'm running it on an iPhone?

[Q] Forwarding iMessage from iPhone/iPad to Android using AT&T.

I have seen this question asked numerous times before, and everyone gives the most cliche answer. "iMessage is an iOs feature and will never be compatible with Android. Please download a third party cross-platform application that the iPhone user must also install."
I have thought about it, and although it seems like more of a question that belongs in an iPhone forum, is there a way to forward iMessages received on an iPhone/iPad (jailbroken of course) to an AT&T number or similar Android application?
I am running Android 4.1 on Note 2 I317 rooted with jailbroken iOs 5.x
Please do not reply if you have to say something along the lines of
Both users must use a third party application with it's own messaging server.
Just use the iPhone/iPad.
Inform the other user to send failed iMessage as SMS (not applicable to this situation as I am trying to subvert international SMS charges).

Exchange client with iPhone ID

Hello guys,
I need your help..
The company I work for only allows iPhones and iPads to connect to their exchange server.
I've spoken to a developer the last few days and he said (inofficially) to me, that the only reason why android devices can't connect to the server is because they don't send "hello, I'm a iPhone" to the server!
Is there some way to bypass this so that i can connect with my beloved android phone?
Thanks,
deox91
Isn't there any way we can bypass this restriction?
