So there were a couple of things I had to do to start with in order for me to get some of my stuff going the way I wanted them to:
1) I had to copy all of my contacts from my SIM card
a) Click on the “Contacts” Icon
b) Click on the Blackberry menu key; Contacts from SIM card
c) Click on the Blackberry menu key; Copy all to Contacts
2) I had to turn off Smart Dialing (+1) dialing to be able to place calls
a) Click on the Green phone icon key
b) Click on the Blackberry menu key; Options; Smart Dialing
c) Change the country code to “unknown”
Then, you need to get all the correct service books installed so you have full access to everything. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QAOAC6H9
1) ENABLE SERVICE BOOK COMPLETE BACKUP / OVER WRITE / RESTORE on the Device, like this:
a) On your device, go to Options -> Advanced Options -> Service Books hold Alt and hit {S}{B}{E}{B} let go of alt and it should show a message about how legacy service books are enabled.
2) BACKUP EXISTING SERVICE BOOKS
a) Hook up the phone to the laptop
b) Open Blackberry Desktop Manager -> Backup/Restore -> Advanced
i) On the right side, scroll down to Service Books, then press the <<>
ii) Click on Save, and save them some place just in case
3) WRITE NEW SERVICE BOOKS TO DEVICE
a) First, clear your service books by scrolling down on the right side, high light Service Books, then press Clear
b) Check your device now (Options -> Advance Options -> Service Books)
i) If there is anything left besides something that mentions TCP/IP or Browser, delete those also
c) Open BlackBerry DM, go to Backup/Restore -> Advanced -> Left Window -> File -> Open -> select the service book file you downloaded.
d) Disconnect phone from Computer.
e) Go to Options -> Advanced Options -> Host Routing Table -> BlackBerry Menu key -> Register
f) go to advanced settings -> browser and change the hot spot to browser.
i) Now your browser should be enabled, along with this, you should also be able to send/receive MMS. Now would be an okay time to test this.
g) If you do not get the browser option restart and try again.
h) IF MMS NOR BROWSER WORKS RESTART FROM 3a TILL IT WORKS
