EZ Dispatch 3.0

Using a Blackberry 8100 with EZDispatch:

There are 2 ways to set up EZDispatch on your BlackBerry device. It can be set up on the default web browser or Opera Mini. While both are functional, we recommend using Opera Mini, simply because it offers a better layout and user interface. Install instructions for the default web browser are below the instructions for Opera Mini.

Using Opera Mini (recommended)

Step 1:

First, we need to download and install Opera Mini. To begin this process, we open "Browser" from the home screen.

Step 2:

Once the browser is open, you will see a screen like this one. Press the menu key to open the menu.

Step 3:

Choose "Go To..." from the menu.

Step 4:

Enter this address and press enter: www.operamini.com

Step 5:

Choose the first link on the page ("Download Opera Mini").

Step 6:

Press the Download button.

Step 7:

The download may take a minute or two.

Step 8:

Some BlackBerries will prompt you that this file does not contain a signature. Press the Yes button to continue.

Step 9:

You will be alerted that the application was successfully installed. Choose OK.

Step 10:

Press the menu button, and choose "Close" (the last option).

Step 11:

Now we want to add Opera Mini to the home screen for easy access. From the home screen, press the menu key, and choose Options.

Step 12:

Select "Organize Applications"

Step 13:

Scroll down until you see "Opera Mini", and select it. From the menu choose "Move Application"

Step 14:

Scroll up until "Opera Mini" is right next to Browser.

Step 15:

Now select Browser, and again choose "Move Application" (we don't need BOTH on the home screen)

Step 16:

Move it back down near where Opera Mini was. When you are done, exit back to the home screen.

Step 17:

You will now see the icon for Opera Mini. Open it.

Step 18:

In order to support secure links, Opera needs a random key. It generates this key using your random input. When prompted, randomly press the number keys, or randomly move your trackball or joystick.

Step 19:

Once that is done, it will tell you that it is going to try to connect to the internet, and ask you to press OK to start. Choose OK. You usually do this by pressing the key below it on your keyboard (probably q or w).

Step 20:

Once it has connected, it will give you an introduction screen. Read this if you wish, and then choose OK.

Step 21:

This is what you will normally see when you open Opera Mini. We are going to add a shortcut to EZDispatch here.

Step 22:

Scroll down to "Bookmarks..." and choose it.

Step 23:

Now choose Manage (again you press the key below that on your keyboard, probably q or w). From the Manage menu, choose Add.

Step 24:

Fill in Title with what you want to call the link (we recommend something simple and descriptive, like EZDispatch or even EZD). Then fill in Address with this (substitute username for your EZDispatch username, and password for your password): EZDispatch.com?u=username&p=password
Now check the checkbox next to "Display on start page" and choose Save (again, probably by pressing the q or w on your phone).

Step 25:

You are now viewing the Bookmarks page again. Simply choose the Back option (probably the o or p key on your keyboard).

Step 26:

This is the screen that you will see from now on when you enter Opera Mini. As you can see, there is now an additional link to get to EZDispatch. Select it.

Step 27:

Once you choose to go to EZDispatch, it will read Connecting at the bottom of the screen.

Step 28:

If this is the first time that you have used Opera Mini, it will prompt you to accept the user license. Check the checkbox, and choose continue.

Step 29:

You will see the "Connecting" bar again, as it conencts you to EZDispatch.

Step 30:

This is what EZDispatch will look like on your BlackBerry device. You can choose the magnifying glass (currently highlighted) to see the details on a load, or the globe to get a map and driving directions. Your orders will be listed with newest on top. That's it! You're set up. The next few steps will just show you how to get into EZDispatch from now on.

Step 31:

From your home screen choose Opera Mini.

Step 32:

Choose to go to EZDispatch, it will read Connecting at the bottom of the screen.

Step 33:

And like magic you are viewing your loads on EZDispatch!

This is what you will see when you open Browser from now on. Choose the EZDispatch link you just created.

Step 6:

This is what you will see while it loads EZDispatch.

Step 7:

Step 8:

This is what your EZDispatch loads will look like on your BlackBerry device. You can choose the magnifying glass (currently highlighted) to see the details on a load, or the globe to get a map and driving directions. Your orders will be listed with newest on top. That's it! You're set up. The next few steps will just show you how to get into EZDispatch from now on.
