I don't know what happened on my Curve 8330, but a few months ago these indicators popped up in my browser to say new mail or voicemail and etc, but then today it disappeared. So I can't see what's going on with my messaging when I am using the web browser. I tried turning it off and on and looked at the browser configuration and can't figure it out.
If I understand correctly, you have lost the top status bar in your browser.
No problem at all.
While you are in the browser, just press the 'u' key (make sure the cursor is not somewhere where you can input text). This cycles the status bar on/off.
Good luck
