Yes, works just fine though of course it is pretty slow.

If you are running a fairly recent version of the OS then make sure you disable things like CSS and scripts.

Not incompetent at all, a very valid question;

Go to your Blackberry browser, click the trackwheel and select "options", then pick "browser configuration".

You'll want to disable the following:

Use Foreground and background colors
Use background images
Support embedded media
Support Javascript
Support Style Sheets

then click the trackwheel and save the changes.
