Default HERE'S HOW to use Bridge in the 2.0 beta

Hey guys,

I know most of you are having problems launching Bridge apps with the new 2.0 beta. So here's how to do it (well, a workaround for now)!

1. Open the Bridge Browser.
2. Enter the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:187 or http://localhost:187
3. Bookmark this page. This is your jump-off point for launching all the Bridge apps in browser tabs!

Messages app updates quickly, BBM works great, it's all awesomely fast and smooth! HTML5 (I assume) ftw!

EDIT NOTE #1: Just an FYI, as you all reported, Bridge Browser and Bridge Files DO NOT WORK. If anyone finds a workaround, please PM me and I'll update this post so people don't need to read through pages of posts.

EDIT NOTE #2: Thanks PK for the update below. Hadn't seen J-Duke's post originally, but I know a lot of people discovered this around the same time. Essentially, when you open the Bridge apps normally, you can select and copy the link of the "try again" button. I then used that in the Bridge Browser and voila, Bridge app goodness

------------Added by PK-------------

Thanks go to J-Duke of BerryInformed........

Correction:

Bridge Bronser Don't ( Wonder why)
Calendar works
BBM works
Memopad works
Tasks Works
Bridge files Don't
If anyone has this all working let me know.
It might be AT&T.

Removed and re-paired my Bridge between Bold 9930 and PB and No Go. I can use the URL solution, but still get the Cannot Connect Error for messages, etc. when using the Icons for Bridge apps.
