Hi there,

I recently bought a blackberry 8700 in ebay.
I wonder if you can tell me how can I connect my phone to the internet without being through the BlackBerry Internet Service™.

All cell phones here in Portugal connect to internet simply by wap. Is there any software that I can install so that my blackberry can access just like other phones??

Greetings

here are the settings that my operator keep telling me to do...

Is it possible to access internet with this options with my blackberry 8700??

zulmir, you might able to connect of you download Opera Mini browser. Then you need to set your TCP settings, look for the instructions at the FAQ site, in my signature below.

You won't get full data usage with the BlackBerry Data Plan. No email. The BlackBerry is not like normal cellphones.

Good luck.

I just saw your #2 post. If you do all that AND get Opera Mini, you might internet. It is not guaranteed.

when i try to install Opera mini browser with Desktop Manager i get this message:

"No additional aplications designed for your handheld were found"

same msg for all aplications that i try to load (got all aplications from emule)

only thing i mannaged to instal were some games .. but the precedure of instalation was diferent.. the games had some *.bat files

Please help :(

[JSanders]

I don't know what emule is. Download Opera Mini directly from their website, not another. Get the desktop download only. Follow the directions there, I can't give better directions than they have.

Use Application Loader in Desktop manager to load it by ADDING Opera Mini. You have to know where on your PC you download the files.

download from here=>http://www.operamini.com/download/pc/blackberry/

I've downloaded the opera from http://www.operamini.com/download/pc/blackberry/

do you think i'm with problems with the desktop manager??

i've tried all the operas from that website

yes, make sure you have the latest 4.2 version of DM. You can get Service Pack 1 instead of SP2, for your needs.
