Hi guys

I'm having a little trouble with my Blackberry that I got yesterday.

I bought a brand new, unlocked 8310 from eBay here in the UK for a really great price and everything is fine with it apart from the fact that I can't see to connect to the internet with the browser (which on this model is called Vodaphone Live!), where I load it up but it just gets stuck on Requesting...

The bar at the bottom loads right to the end but then does nothing.

I am also have trouble with being able to put in a personal email address, but that's because my current Pay As You Go provider (Asda Mobile) doesn't support this with Blackberry's right now, so I am changing over.

Could this be the same problem with the inability to access anything with the browser? I have tried removing the battery for five minutes, turning off the BB and turning it on again.

I put Opera onto my Blackberry last night by downloading it from the internet and uploading it with my desktop manager and this seems to work ok, I can access websites and such with it, but obviously it doesn't download. Are there any other browsers out there that can download also?

I hope someone can help with this as I need the browser to download a few apps I need, including a GPS program, which is needed urgently.

Thanks for your help guys.

Steve.

I believe the Vodaphone Live! browser would be their WAP browser, not the regular web browser.
