first time using internet feature on my 7290,and took 45 minutes to get to login,and hourglass still turning preventing you from escaping,only option was to remove battery...any ideas??thanks

What you're probably seeing is the browser and device getting overloaded and essentialy locking up.

Who is your provider? What OS? I use t-mobile on OS4 and the built in browser still uses the wap.voicestream.com connection. Anything that has scripts (most sites now-a-days) can be touch and go.

I also have Reqwireless and have had better success with using it for certain sites, E-Bay included.

I'm on rogers in Canada,with a new 7290 on 4.0

If using your WAP browser can't view eBay, you have the option of using the Internet Browser. However, this is a service you have to add to your BlackBerry Internet Service account if you have one.

try wap.ebay.com. Comes up much faster
