For some reason a tiny little globe has come up on my screen of my 8700g. There's a 2 next to it so uh... I'm guessing there's 2 of whatever it is.

So.. what is it and how can I tweak it?

Check BlackBerry Messenger and see if anyone has sent you messages or requests; also check the browser in case this is a pushed browser page.

Sounds like a pending web request. You should be able to either delete them in Messages or open them up to clear this.
