I just had a Blackberry Curve 8900, it had two different browsers I could use. The mobile service one, for me it was T-Mobile, and then one that had WAP on it so maybe you aren't seein it?

it's the lil globe thingy bro. u cant miss it!
just go to app world on your computer, and send the link and get a different browser if worse comes to worse!

Depends what plan you have, WAP browser might not work.
Ahh yeah. You have to properly sign up.
It is because the Blackberrys pull the data through Blackberry's own server which compresses it and optimizes it.
So you need to sign up with them fully, plus you get their email address and a PIN for the blackberry messenger which is awesome.
Im using the Blackberry Bold.
Does yours have the trackball or the new touchpad thing?
