Sounds like you don't have a data plan.

You have to contact Vodacom to activate your data plan.

Many thanks,does this explain the missing browser icon as well-when i contacted Vodacom they didnt know whai i was talking about-said there was probably a problem with my 7290.The icon is not hidden either,just doesnt exist.

I believe so. If you don't have a data plan, certain icons won't be there.

a way to get to your browser [but you won't be able to use it if you don't have a data plan]
-hold down alt key [the one under the A]
-click the escape key [under the track wheel]
-keep holding the alt key and there should be a browser icon, just scroll onto it and let off the alt key
