I am running the following softwares –

On the Blackberry – 1. version 4.1 that has a Browswer4.1 under Applications

On my laptop –
2. Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.1.1.9 which will not enable me to load any files onto the Blackberry

2. Opera Mini - opera-mini-4.2.13918-advanced-en-us.jar and opera-mini-3.1.13045-advanced-en-us.zip – and was told they are self extracting and will load onto the blackberry- which of course they do not

I have my blackberry connected to my laptop correctly etc. and frankly I am LOST.

First – Am I running the right software’s on the Blackberry, and the Laptop- Blackberry and the right Opera Mini

Second – If not which softwares should I run and then what programs should be installed or removed from the blackberry and from the laptop

Third – What else do I need to do

Boost said that they cannot do a reboot with a Blackberry. I read that I can remove the battery and do a reboot. I have done this.

There is no ICON on my blackberry for web or browser.

Please help me out with this if you can and I will return the favor by posting this step by step in the forum so others can make it work the first time.
The opera that you are using is too new for that device. Use opera 4.0 or lower and you should be fine. I have 4.0 on the 7100i. I used to run opera 3 on the 7520. Also try this with gmail to text message a friend. Example: Email <10 digit phone number>@messaging.nextel.com and see if they will recieve it as a text message. In your email request the person to reply. If it works setup contacts in this format in your gmail app.
