Blackberry - Hard to set up?

RaiderHammer

Just got a Blackberry today but having difficulty setting it up. Couldn't get it to connect to wifi at home. Are Blackberry's difficult to set up? Thank you.

Not really. Which model is it? You need to make sure you have the BB service provisioned to get things like BBM and e-mail, but wi-fi is quite straightforward.

It's a Curve 8520. It can connect to my home wifi now but won't open a webpage on the browser. Any idea on this please?

BB service is not set up at the moment.

get bb service requested asap, it takes upto 24 hours as once your network provisions it, it then goes through to blackberry for a seperate set of provisioning which covers bbm and blackberry app world

what network are you on ???
have you informed your network provider ??
have you got a blackberry enabled sim ??
have you paid for BB ??

bluetooth set up should be a piece of cake (although I haven't had to set up ours)

Have bought one for my daughter (unlocked) from phones4u, bought a sim only deal from Tmobile, Paid for BB (£5) messenger etc, placed sim in phone everything worked a treat first time

have a look on Youtube, for a set up video

Normally they should sign you up to Blackberry Services automatically. Follow the Blackberry Setup and you should be ok.
