Do you have a BlackBerry specific Data Plan?
Is it active for the device?
Is your data working over the carrier network?

I also have this problem but with my 8530. I do have a BB data plan, and my data works over cellular. Mine can occasionally connect to the BIS over wifi, but gets disconnected a lot. My router is a Netgear.

I have a somewhat similar issue. No problem whatsoever w/ wifi connection on my home router. However at work my wifi connection only lasts about 15 mins before my 8530 fails over to cell service. Any thoughts?
