I have a 8350i with an everything data plan. I am unable to connect to the internet through my browser if I have it set on blackberry browser however if I switch it to internet browser that internet works fine. Is there a downside to this? It doesnt cost any extra this way does it?

The "Internet Browser" goes through your cell service provider. The "Blackberry Browser" goes through BES, if you have BES setup.

Does the everything plan include BB data? To use the BB browser, you need a properly provisioned BB data plan. Once the carrier sends the service books, the browser should appear.

when i go to setting and BROWSER OPTIONS i dont see BB BROWSER, i only have two options INTERNET BROWSER and my service providers WAP. How come i dont have all 3 options, i am using the latest 4.5.0.55 OS.

how can i get that option to choose black berry browser?

Do you have BES? If you are only on BIS, you'll only have those 2 options and that's normal.

oh ok, yes when i was comparing it with my mates phone he had BB BROWSER, and yes he is on BES.

thanks a lot trimix, you have clarified it now for me

Interesting...I also have the 8330 on Sprint and DO have BB Browser (tho you're not missing much imo...I generally use Opera Mini).
