    Hello gang, first time posting!

    I have a BBold 9780 with Rogers and have NO data plan. I use wifi if I need internet access around the house.

    I would like to install some apps from app world but am unable to install.


    I have tried to install BlackBerry App world on my desktop comuter and on step 2. Connect your smartphone I get the following error:

    "BlackBerry App World requires that your device radio be turned on to continue"

    Is there anyway I can download to my computer and then transfer using desktop software?

    Would I have to unlock or jailbreak my phone in order to download software without getting a data plan?

    Anyone have any suggestions and thanks!

    No BlackBerry data plan = No BlackBerry App World... period

    Unlocking your phone will make no difference, and jailbreaking is for iPhones

    Sorry for asking but can I jailbreak the phone so I have access to apps or is this not possible? Or can I download over Wifi?

    Sorry, I thought I made it clear in my first post...

    Jailbreaking is only for iPhones, and you need a BB data plan for App World.

    Using wifi won't work either
