Default New blackberry user - need set up help!

Hi everyone, I just bought a used BB 8700g from ebay. My carrier is ATT, and the phone works for calls. However, I cannot get anything going for my email or web browsing. Here is what I do:

For email:
Setup wizard>Email setup>
here it only gives me the option to "use a work email account with a BB enterprise server"
I just want to use gmail...
I've tried going through with my gmail credentials, but to no avail--it won't activate.

Also, I downloaded the desktop manager but I'm not sure how to transfer files (esp. installation files, e.g., Opera).

Any help would be great, thanks!!!

I had this issue with mine through VZW. I had to call and have them delete the account then reassign it as BIS vs BES. Not sure how ATT works but i'm sure help is on the way!
