Thanks in advance...
I have Rogers blackberry 7290....(was on contract with Rogers).
I just call SO to add the browsing...and i can see the GPRS icon shown on the screen now....
and i installed the Mini Opera....and set APN as posted in this forum "goam.com".
but the Opera report cannot connect to service.

what was wrong? is it becuase the device is still locked to Rogers?

I could not get Opera Mini (4.2 or 5) to work on my BlackBerry 8100.

Open the Blackberry browser instead. It should drop you on an ugly-as-sin WAP homepage and allow you to navigate from there. That's the best you get.

HOWEVER, Rogers just announced an upgrade to their Pay As You Go browsing that gives access to more apps. With any luck, SpeakOut will make a similar change (the switch is scheduled for March 11th on Rogers). That might allow the use of Opera Mini.

thanks a lot...the thing is, it says something like Blackberry is not a service allow by my service book...is it what people say "locked" to Rogers?
