I have a BB 8330 that is running v4.3.0.72 through Verizon.

How do I enable html email?

I also need to go to a site, for work, that is a regular webpage. I know that it is navigable by iPhone. I can get to the site with my BB. The message "better viewed with IE" comes, then I can navigate the site with one exception, which is the one I need. I am unable to use the pull down menu. I can't click on the small triangle . . .I can't click on the options. Is there a setting I can adjust or is that just the way it is?

You need to upgrade to OS 4.5 for HTML email.

As for the site you need to go to i suggest downloading Opera Mini and using that for sites that the bb browser does not support. BlackBerry does not support flash so that may be an issue.

However i've found that Opera Mini can properly handle a lot of sites that the bb browser cannot.

So maybe I should be in the newbies section. Thanks!

Does anyone know if, with Verizon, upgrading my OS would void my warranty? Where would I find instructions to do so?

Where would I find Opera Mini to download it?

Thanks for all of your help!

It will not void your warranty as it's officially released by VZW.

VZW BlackBerry OS updates:BlackBerry® Software Updates



Since i'm on WAP i'll link you to a post a thread that gives some details about the upgrade.

It's best to be familiar with your device before attempting an OS upgrade. The process can take up to an hour.

Make sure your browser is configured properly.
