BlackBerry Download FAQs


Which version of News Pro for BlackBerry should I install – Normal or BES?
The Normal version is for individuals on a personal mobile plan, while the corporate version is for users with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) – a corporate-issued BlackBerry.

  • All users on Nextel (USA) and Telecom Italia Mobile (Italy) will install the BES version

If you connect using one method – even if it doesn't work – the application is flagged so that it won’t be able to connect using the other method. If you have downloaded the wrong version for your device, you can simply uninstall that version and install the correct version.

Tip: Make sure to un-install the non-working version of the application before you install the other version. To un-install, go to Tools -> Settings -> Applications, select "Thomson Reuters News Pro" and then “Delete.”

Why do I get a "406 error" on the installation page?
Your company may have BlackBerry® Enterprise Server (BES) installed that restricts installation of third party applications.
