There are some setting you will need to edit before BB allows the app to connect to the internet.
Go to options – Advanced Options – Applications.
Highlight eBuddy and press the BB button (with 7 squares on it) and select to edit permissions.
Select connections and put all on allow.

I have a pearl and it won’t connect either. I guess it’s something temporarily not resolved yet. I’ll check it out in a couple of days.

While the eBuddy app for BB will not work on my 8320 (can’t connect) I was successfully able to chat with Facebook friends via the eBuddy web portal. I didn’t think you could do that, but you can login to Facebook chat, see your contacts, write them, and the page reloads fast enough for you to carry on a conversation. I’m not so sad the app didn’t work. Apps take space, while web chat does not.

Bah, got my hopes all up. They announced jabber “support” back in May. Until they release server/login info…

I can’t get eBuddy to work. I have an 8320 with 4.5.0.69, and eBuddy tires and tries to connect after I’ve install it and no connection works. Any suggestions?
