Lots of web sites i visit say i need either to download macromedia flash player, which i cannot find for the curve, or enable java script to view contenc correctly. I have all java related things checked off in the browser options, but still get the errors. Any ideas?

browser > menu > options > general options > javascript is the way to enable javascript. this works for *most* sites. However some sites that require flash will give you a "enable javascript" error if it requires flash.
there is NO way to use flash on the BlackBerry at this time.
