Hello,
I am with Telus and I have a Blackberry Pearl 8130
I have a data plan, but all I can use to browse is Telus WAP Browser, so therefore, I cannot download any applications, such as Facebook or Twitterberry. I always get an Error 403

ERROR 403:
Please make sure you are using the BlackBerry browser, and not any other 3rd party applications. If possible, try using the "Internet Browser" or setting your default browser to "internet Browser"

Inside the BlackBerry browser, open the menu and choose "Options". Choose "General Properties" and set "Default Browser" to "Internet Browser". Save and close your browser, and try again.

I tried doing this and there was no other option other than the Telus WAP Browser
so, my questions is; how do I get Blackberry Internet Browser for my phone? Or is there another way?
Thanks.

You won't get the Blackberry browser until you have a Blackberry data plan. No other type of plan will do. Once you have a bona fide Blackberry data plan active on your account the browser will appear.

Do you know if there's any other browser I can use that will allow me to be able to download applications?
I get the same error with any app

You need a Blackberry data plan to download anything. That's just the way it is with Blackberrys.

I have a data plan..

But do you have a Blackberry data plan? Huge difference. If it's not a bona fide Blackberry plan then you won't get much in the way of the basic services we all enjoy.

You can try Opera Mini and Bolt, two alternative browsers for the Blackberry.

Omg! that's so frustrating. RIM Microsoft or whoever are a bunch of scammers.
I friggin' hate blackberrys. Why does it have to be so difficult.

Anyway.. Thank you for your help.
