I'm a brand-new BB user. I had a few questions that I hope I can get answered here. I got this phone from my job. I guess I'm a bit paranoid about using this phone for personal reasons (like banking, etc.), even though we are allowed to do so.
1. If I am at home (where I get NO cell signal), and use my Wi-Fi signal (Comcast) to browse the Internet, am I correct in thinking that, if I clear my cache and history, there is no way for my browsing activity to be known by the networking guys at work?
2. If I am anywhere that has a Wi-Fi signal and I'm getting my cell signal, if I want to use the Wi-Fi instead of the cell signal, do I just simply sign onto the hotspot and it will take over all network communications?
3. How in the world can I view videos on my BB? YouTube won't let me, nor any other site I've been to.
You asked "there is no way for my browsing activity to be known by the networking guys at work". And this is a WORK PROVIDED device, which usually means that you are on a BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Service) [Note that a quick Google Search would have defined that term for you.]
If you are indeed on a BES, then read this post, to find out what your administrator can and cannot see.
Oh.. also.. I'm not sure if I was clear enough in my original post. If I visit sites using my phone connected to my Wi-Fi at home, I realize it stores my browser history. But if I get rid of that history before the phone can sync with the BES server again, does the server still somehow find out my history? If so, how?
