I am making a voice note recording application and it should send voice notes from the BlackBerry to a server. What the best approach for doing the data transfer?
A:
For large data transfers it is best to use HTTP (i.e. HTTP POST the data to a server) using the following transports:
- Wi-Fi (if available)
- Direct TCP (need to specify APN on many GSM devices)
- WAP2 (not all carriers support this)
You could try to send data over BIS/BES but there are usually limits to the size of transfers over those transports - plus you need to be an Alliance Member with RIM in order to use BIS.

Thank you very much, by any chance can you lead me to an example on HTTP on the blackberry?
