    1) I keep getting SMS mesages on my Alltel Blackberry 8130 that say "BREW" and then a long line of numbers and letters. I've read several things about these mesages but I couldn't find what they are and how to stop them.
    2)I can't watch CNN videos either. When I trie to play them it says "unsuported format". I watch Youtube all the time and it works just fine.

    Ok so there not really questions but you know what I mean.

    I don't know the answer to your first question, but as for watching CNN videos, for some reason, you can't just view them on the BlackBerry by streaming the video - it will end up only giving you the video to watch, but no sound. You can, however, view them with the audio by "saving" the video on your phone's media card instead of opening it, and then viewing it in your phone's media player.

    You can read HTML emails, gives your phone more memory, and a few of the apps are updated.
