I have got a 7290 off a friend who upgraded and I thought I'd give it ago on the web to see what I thought before buying a new one. My old phone was a Nokia and the web did work but was unusable. This 7290 dosn't seem to work on Orange (UK) pay as you go and after phoneing Orange there dosn't seem to be any settings.
Can anyone help? Or it's bin time..........

Pay as you go won't work. You need a BlackBerry Data Plan for browsing, email, IM etc.

Will it work on O2 pay as you go? If so what are the phone settings?

No, you cannot use a BlackBerry on any pay as you go plan.
You need a BLACKBERRY DATA PLAN.
