Hi Everyone,

I figured it out. I was running 4.2.94, I upgraded to 4.2.107. For those who need the info:

I was on Rogers BB Plan - $55/month, Voice & 4MB data.
I have switched to the Mega Incoming 25, and $7 unlimited data on my BB Pearl.

I have the set the APN, according, to Opera Mini's site - internet.com, with UN & PW.
Under the Security Options, TLS, I have the default set to proxy - not sure if changing it will work, but it works with proxy.

I have the three programs installed and use it for my requirements:

Opera Mini 4 - Excellent
GMAIL Mobile - Excellent
GCAL Sync - Excellent

Excellent represents the programs usability and performance. I notice that at times Opera will fail to load, and when I look the edge network is not available - and even when it is available I get an error now and then - does not bother me, just exit and restart the app - once it is working, it is fine.

I will be installing Google Maps and hopefully goes without a problem. As I don't have OTA available anymore, I need to find the alx file - if anyone knows where I can, please let me know.

What have sacrificed, I know the power users would know this already, but for people considering this move:

OTA (Over the Air) installs - NOT possible without a BB Plan
ALL BB apps that require a data plan - there is a lot of info out there about service books, and what the BB plan does so I will not get into it.

All other functions works - all phone, and text messaging - added to my plan.

I am no expert, and only reached this far because of people in this forum, and would like to specifically mention Mark Rejhon, and please read his excellent post -
