Hey I am having the same problem. Did you go on to your carrier's site and create the account. I did that with ATT. I read in the Blackberry 101 tutorial that you should receive a confirmation email saying it is working. I never received one. I'm not sure what is wrong with mine. I have scoured my phone and still no luck. If I figure something out, I'll let you know. Please do the same, thanks!!
Do you guys have data plans? When I got my plan the carrier sent the service books to my phone and one of them was the e-mail set up programme.
Before that I had the same problem as you where I only had a choice of a work e-mail.
yes i have the data plan. my media net browser displays web pages just fine. under one of the options pages on my phone, it says data plan: yes. so maybe my carrier (ATT) hasn't sent the service book to my phone? if so i will be calling shortly to get them to send it.
i finally got mine fixed, here's what happened, maybe same thing's happening to you. i originally called att to confirm my new plan. the guy i spoke with said my BB personal unlimited data plan was activated and i'm good to go. today i'm looking at my current usage and see under "internet/media net" that "0 is included, 5.7mb used". i know that media net is expensive and this didn't look right so i called att. apparently the first person i spoke with a few days ago didnt add the data plan at all. i was using the media net, which costs $0.10 per kb. well i found out if i hadn't called it would have been $578 after just 4 days of use charged to my account. i spoke to a a phone rep that knew what they were talking about finally and she submitted a request for that to be immediately dropped from my account. once my data plan was finally added, i had already gone on att.blackberry.com and set up my personal email addy. i got a text saying to turn my phone off, once on, what do you know it finally worked, email and internet are finally on my BB. i dunno if any of that makes sense to you, but if not PM me and i'll try to help you some more. i know how frustrating it can be. late.
