    The easiest way to get Bridge is to go to Blackberry App World using Internet Explorer (it may work on other browsers, don't know). Attach your phone to USB. Search for Blackberry Bridge. It will find it and click on details. Once you click download, it will ask you to log in. Enter your BB ID and log in. If it tells you that you must download from the device, it is because the website thinks you are trying to download to Playbook. You need to find the link which says "Devices" somewhere on page, it was on upper right for me, but then it disappeared. Once you can switch to your handheld, it will let you download from the website.

    Hope this helps!

    @Fr3incr: I'd guess just downloading the bridge app from the App World straight to your BB would be the easiest way..

    Just saying .

    What is Bridge Browser a web browser?

    How is it different than using the PB browser?

    yeah, duh ... I missed it there right in front of my nose.

    Just dl'd josecarlosc's zip, installed it with BBSAK, and it's running. Now if only my PB gets here today ...

    But still, shame on AT&T. If I didn't have so many phones in the family in mid-contract, I'd be gone today.

    I hope I dont have a problem. BB app world has never worked for me... correction...it did work for the first year on my Storm but at one point there was a new app world app that installed and I've never been able to connect since.
    I just might end up with a standalone PB.

    I had the same issue this morning. I did an ALT-R-S-T in App World and it was available to download after that. I have a 9650 on Verizon.

    Got it working on both phones now, just got back to the office with the 32G PB, but our WiFi is locked out to only company machines....

    Oh well, PB in hand, that's all that matters at the moment.
