Hello everyone, great forum! I have 1 question, I recently installed os 4.2 on my 8700c and there is no web browser icon anywhere? can someone help with this? or do i need to use blackberry service for this? I would like to be able to use the internet with my air time minutes. thanks for your help.

Well ud have to have a data plan as always if u do, try resending your service books. Go to options/advanced options/host routing table/hit menu and choose "register now"

Also make sure its nowhere hidden. On your main screen hit menu and choose "show all"

I've had the same thing happen to me on a 7100 and my8700. What I noticed is that It started when my phones content protection was set to the on position. When I disabled the feature and rebooted a couple of times it came back to normal. The difference is that I have os 4.1 but I hope it helps.

on the main screen where u see all of the icons hit the btn to the left of the track ball. its got the bb logo on it. That would be the menu btn

I must have an older 8700c maybe? I only have 3 buttons, the track ball, one button under it, and one button on the other side? do you think i loaded the os wrong? thanks for the help

Here is my 8700c. I also have at&t as my carrier, I hope this helps. when i bought the phone- it never had a browser icon either, then i upgraded to v4.2 os and the browser icon is still not to be found, is there anyway to get to the internet with another application? thanks for you help guys!

Ok, it should be the middle convenience key (between call and end call buttons). If u hit it it should open the menu...unless it is set to open the app instead. In that case, open the app and then hit the middle conveniance key...hope that helps?

thanks, I tried that and it only turns on the backscreen? it`s like there is no such thing as a browser on this phone. sorry about the "track ball" confusion, i`m still a noob
