    Lightbulb What is the difference bewteen the browsers on my phone?

    I have two browsers on my blackberry bold. WAP Browser and Internet Browser.

    What is the difference between the two? I notice that when my wifi is on if I go in internet browser it automatically uses wifi. However my wap browser does not. Also when I add bookmarks there is an option to save for wap, internet or hotspot browser.

    Thanks

    I have only ever used Internet Browser for both data and wifi. I have no idea what the purpose of the other browsers are.

    I thought there were four: Internet, BlackBerry, WAP, and Hotspot. I have mine set to BlackBerry because certain sites will recognize that you are using a BlackBerry and provide content accordingly.

    The Internet Browser can be set to Blackberry, IE, or FF.

    Yep, and that's the Browser Identification option on the browser config page for having sites ID you as a BB user. But I have the first, Browser option on the config page set to BB Browser, not IE (or WAP or Hotspot).
