In advance, thanks to anyone that can help. And thanks for having this wonderful resource.

This is my first Post.

I have an 8700g (t-mobile) that I have purchase on-line and have unlock.
I recently read a post on updating the software version to 4.2.1.96 I was on 3.x
I have done that successfully. Love the new version. If you don’t have it. Get it

However I still have a number of problems.

1. I don’t have a browser (No Icon) to surf the web. I have tried to install Opera-Mini and it does not show up (No Icon)

2. Message reads “Data connection refused”. I signed up for AT&T Media Mail service for $14.99. But I am guessing this is the wrong service.

3. A lot of New Icons (such as setup wizard) How do I get ride of Icons.

I read in a post that I need to reset my IT Security settings. I will do that when I get home. However if there is some other post out there that I have not found Please point me in the right direction. It would be greatly appreciated.

I love BB.
I had one at my old job and loved using it for email/calendar and as my General PDA,

I no longer need the bb for work (NO BES). Rather I am trying to use it as a regular phone with internet browsers.

I have signed up with Google to manage my domain, so I just want to be able to get my gmail email (ie. mydomain.google.com) and maybe gtalk. The calendar would be something for the gods.

I am currently on AT&T and don’t really want to spend more then $20 to get this. Any ideas.

Basically I am currently using my bb for Phone and SMS. And general PDA. What else could I use it for? And How?

Best.

Thanks for that. But I have been reading a lot of threads where people seem to think that you can have a BB working with out a BB Data plan. I just want to use my browser, nothing else. and at that its to check mail once a day. i work at a bank where email is restricted.

Other question is that I tried to download Opera Mini and it does not show up on my bb, any thoughts.
