I have a question. Just purchased the Blackberry 8320 from TMobile. Do u HAVE TO have a wi-fi connection to use the browser?? I don't use DSL at home; therefore I don't have a wifi connection.. Everytime I try using the Browser on the 8320 it gives me an error saying it can't find a WiFi connection..
Please help!
Thankyou in advance!

If you don't have a data plan, then you'll need a wifi connection to use the browser. Do you have a BB Data plan? It's a $19.99 add-on from TMo.

Yes I have the Data plan.. I've been a blackberry user for almost 3 years.. Just upgraded from 8700 to 8320

Go to Options >Advanced Options >Browser. Set your default browsers to "Internet Browser."

You're missing a BIG feature of the 8320 if you don't have wifi at home. I'd look into it. WiFi/UMA is really great.

Also, I tried just switching off the WiFi option; in hopes of using just the EDGE technology.. However that didn't work either

That's actually the very first thing I tried doing. I went under the Browser options; and under "Default Browser configuration" it only gives the option of "Wi-Fi Browser." It has NO other options to choose from

Then you don't have an EDGE browser installed yet. Your data plan is still in effect? Your device says EDGE? If so, go to Options >Advanced Options >Host Routing Table and hit menu key and select Register Now. See if that pushes the browser service books to the device.

One last question.. Do you (or anyone else) know about using the 8320 as a modem to use with a laptop?? I used to use my 8700g daily; however since I upgraded to the Curve its not connecting.. I think I may need to change some of the settings, maybe?

You probably updated your Desktop Manager? You'll have to setup your modem string again. Just go through these instructions and setup everything again.

Thankyou.. That worked, I had to re-enter the string code into the Modem properties. However I am only getting connected now about 50% of the time.. Usually I have to dial out 5 or 6 times before it finally connects.. It keeps giving me an Error 734: The PPP protocol was terminated.

Any ideas?
