what is wrong with the integrated browser on the device? Are there sites you are unable to view or do you not like the setup of it?

i have an 8130 and love the browser on it. you can also try opera mini by just downloading the high memory version and loading it on the device through DM

try MS Pocket IE emulation. I have it set to that and have no issues. Keep in mind much of the page displayed on the PC is in Flash, which the BB cannot play.

Odd...on my Pearl I'm using Orb streaming TV and other media from my PC, and I'm using default settings...did not have to change IE Emulation.

Do you leave it in that mode all the time, and what is the expected benefit in general, or specifically?

What about just regular old mp3s on your home computer? I have all of the other streams working fine, but it doesn't want to work on my home media collection!
