    Well, to connect to wifi go to set up wifi. If you have a password for your wifi go to manually add network. Then type your wifi name and add. Then as security type put PSK (if you have a password) and type in your password. If everything is correct you should be connected to wifi after another screen or two. I'm not too sure about the enails. Sorry.

    First, Wifi... follow the Wifi Guide in my signature below, it's very informative.

    Secondly, the email... check out the Blackberry 101 section under "Blackberry Help" at the top of every forum page... specifically, check out BlackBerry 101: Lecture 11: BIS Email Basics

    thanks for the replies, well i did that and went to register it for the emails and it said my device isnt set up with my wireless service provider, i had followed the steps previous such as the host routing table thing and said an email had been sent but not sure what to do now or where the email was sent ect.

    If you did not receive an email when you did the Register Now from the Host Routing Table... then you need to contact your Cell Phone Provider and make sure they have a Blackberry Data Plan on your phone... sounds like they have not set one up for you.

    Your profile says you use Vodafone... call them and ask them about a Blackberry Data Plan (access to their BIS Server)... they should be able to add that for a price.
