They are, sort of. The threads are in date order based on the date of the first post to the thread. Which makes it a little challenging to follow new activity on older threads.

Go to "Browser options"

I think it is called "browsing mode", it will be set to "WML Only", change it to "unconstrained".

Click the wheel and save the options...

Scott,

When I go into options, I get to choices: "Browser Configuration" and "General Properties".

If I click on Browser Config I have no obviously place to enter RBRO. Very little is available for change, submenus appear to have been turned off by AT&T. The line that says "Content Mode: WML Only" can not be modified. The line for "Emulation Mode: Blackberry" also does not have any choices.

Thanks for the ideas, though. I've surfed thru every menu in the mMode browser module and the status icon, to no avail.

Guess I'm stuck with just surfing MSN and Yahoo on my toy (oh yeah, and getting company email ;) )

Craig,

That option should be selectable to WML & HTML. I am assuming that you are on 4.0 and that you are familiar with changing options.

My next question is are you using BES (i.e. is your blackberry tightly coupled with your email account at work)? I believe that your BES administrator has the ability to lock down a lot of the options/features.

Assuming that you are not, you may want to push your browser service books to your handheld. I believe that this should be an option from the BWC webpage for AT&T.

If this doesn't work, you might just want to get on the phone with AT&T.

PS. If all this fails, ask on blackberryforums.com. Theyt are the FT for BB's. :)

As to "BES", while I am not familiar with this term, you are correct in that the BB is closely tied to our Enterprise Lotus Notes system. As mail gets to my Notes mail client, it is immediately pushed to the BB. Often it even hits the BB a couple of seconds before the WAN! Suspect you're right that our mail administrators do have a lot of features locked down (we are Fortune 500, with much of our mail admin outsourced to CSC).

I attempted again to change any setting in the browser config screen, but so little allows multiple options. :td: I'll wander over to the bulletin board when I have a few hours and see if anything pops up. But for now, I'm going on the premise our network admins don't trust us road warriors.

I finally took the time to study this problem carefully, via the www.blackberryforums.com site. A bit of tweaking and a hack or two, and voila, pretty decent browsing via 3.7. Flyertalk Lite works, albeit slowly.

That did the trick. You just have to study the screens for a minute or so, to figure out the protocols. Some of the nomenclature on the Blackberry board is slightly different then what you see on the handheld.

Appreciate the assistance. ^
