Blackberry is good, but the only lacking feature is multilingual support. If you want to display (or type) any language other than English, normally it means some painful searching on the net for instruction, following by some painful installing process.
I did my search when I got my new Bold 9700, and here is a good guide I got from a Japanese site. I posted a Chinese version, here is the English one. It worked for me so hopefully it will be useful for you.
Here are some of the 70+ comments to prove it works.
a dai – Aug 2011 : Thanks a lot, finally it worked with your instructions. I wasted 10 days with those so called Guru II on BB Forum, they email to me as if I’m a total computer idiot. Your post is the best.
Brian – January 2011 : it was easy to follow and working all good now. thank you.
A – September 2010 : Thanks a million and more! I went to many website and witnessed that many people complained but your answer did work and brought my 9700 version Japanese, Korean and Chinese! Thank you so much!
David – October 2010 : Hi Richard, thank you thank you thank you. I have been searching on the internet – left to right and top to bottom and no prevail. Finally I found your posting. It works like a charm. Thanks again.
