I have a 7290 from TMobile. To get AIM/Y!/ICQ apprently I need the latest desktop software, which of course is Windows only and I'm from a Mac, and the download from them with that software is Windows only. What can I do to get it on the Blackberry?

SRA Ramble is a free AIM client. I noticed in another thread that you are having problems with your blackberry? I had an issue with mine (Nextel 7520) and it turned out that Ramble wouldn't connect because I had the firewall turned on. Try turning your firewall off first to see if Ramble will connect.

i have the 7290 and ramble is working, my firewall was already disabled...what are the consequences of a disabled firewall on a bb?

verichat can be downloaded through OTA so can causerie

My firewall was already disabled as well and still getting the same cannot open tunnel error.

I also wonder what the consequences are.

hi i am a mac user with a 7290 as well - i installed ramble and i keep getting a firewall error but my firewall is disabled.

"invalid connection string could not open tunnel max timeout"

same message every time.

ok i fixed it for anyone with the same problem - http://www.livejournal.com/community...ead=6160#t6160

Hi, I have a 7290 on Cingular. I'm curious what IP you get when you go into the blackberry browser... go to http://whatismyip.com I get 216.9.250.63 If you do a whois on that it's an actualy RIM address... this was curious to me because I assumed I would get a cingular IP address... just curious what others get.

BTW, this is my first post.
