    • EDGE means that the phone is fully connected to the data network and is able to use the internet.
    • edge means that the phone is detecting the data network but is unable to make use of its features becuse:
      • the signal is too weak
      • there is no data-plan in place. If this happens, you will never see EDGE.
      • you are roaming and thre is no agreement between the roaaming carrier and your own
    • The TCP/IP APN settings should be blank for normal internet and email BIS use. This is also true if you use the default browser. If you use a different browser e.g. BOLT that does not use the internet via blackberry.net then you need to fill the fields in the TCP/IP APN form. If you use TetherBerry you will also need to do this.
    • APN setting can be found on this page Opera Mini Connection Help T-Mobile USA settings are:

      APN wap.voicestream.com.
      Also for T-Mobile BlackBerry
      DNS 216.155.175.40
      DNS 216.155.175.41
      Proxy Address 216.155.165.50
      Port 8080

      There is an automatic setup on the page too but I have not tried this http://tmobileus.wdsglobal.com/phonefirst
    Hope this helps.

    Ok. First of all, I don't understang why in the first 2 pages of this thread nobody told you black on white : .148 DOES NOT HOLD EDGE!!! Verizon messed up the GSM radio files on purpose. Like P.T. Says, "they are garbage". So this explanation should have been at the top of the thread, and shame on those who talk when obvious they have no ideea about this issue. Second, before u try any hybrid, try installing the 4.7.0.75, I sell Storms on Ebay for a year and all my units ship to my GSM customers with .75 installed. Then, if you want more, and you really know what you are doing, install a hybrid. Get the 4.7.075 from the frontpage at index

    Well, I hope you were not saying shame to me, I clearly said in post #22 on the second page that .148 is without a doubt the reason he is not holding EDGE! Second, .75 is a garbage OS, I tried it and could not get EDGE for the life of me, third, every phone is different and I was just telling him what worked for me! I never lost EDGE once in the week I used that OS! Either way, I hope something worked for you and you got it figured out man!

    if i didnt have to goto work i would use .230 it works great for me untill i goto work - no circuit - but .75 has been the best so far, yes its slow as **** but i never see edge, its always EDGE and signal is very strong. 7.99c was as bad as .148 i never saw edge...but like you said every phone is different and towers.

    so the hybrid 7.99c does not work. i dont get it. some guys say its working perfect with solid EDGE. whats wrong?

    maybe you have to blank APN setting, but i know some apps need APN setting to tmo.
