Can anyone please help,

I have a BB 1820 and the wifi works great to surf the net.

Its unlocked - just got it and just got the data plan hooked up.

Can anyone tell me what they did to even get a browser running, the wap one ?

It would be nice to get push email, I hope there is some way to do this, or this is like a decade behind and I will just cancel it.

I'm lost too on this. I have a 7105 and it's telling me that there is no
service book entries. I can't get any web/browser to work.
Please let
me know what you find.

Apn: goam.com
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap

The above setting worked to get my browser up and running (blackberry curve). The only thing I haven't got going is instant messanger. These next two codes I have been told to use but I can't fugure out where to change them.

I bought an unlocked Blackberry 8700, and it had no browser icons, and it did not work with data at all. I upgraded the OS from 4.1 to 4.5, with the SIM in, and it came up with browser icons and 5 service book entries. The APN is blank. It appears that web browsing is the only service that works reliably with this low cost service. I have installed Opera Mini 5.2 beta, and it works fine. Bolt browser will not connect to the Internet, nor will Logicmail (an IMAP client that does not require BIS).

@rick, thanks for the heads-up about Logicmail. I successfully installed it and connected to two of my IMAP accounts (including gmail). I've got an 8520 so it may only work because I'm using a wifi connection at the moment. Next time I head out, I'll check to see if it connects via edge. I suspect it won't.

I have Logicmail installed on a BlackBerry Bold on Rogers with a full data plan and it will not connect using the data connection. I think if I remember from when I installed it, it was designed to only work on wifi.
It is quite handy for use with wifi -- as you can connect to more than one POP or IMAP mailboxes for quick mail checks while at Hotspots etc.
