There is no CDMA Sim card and this phone will work on any network outside USA ONLY if the networks operate on 900/1800 MHZ. This means it will not work on networks operating on 850/1900 MHZ.
Hi. I have recently bought this phone and love it, but I am facing problem using GPRS on this (I have not activated blackberry). I am using Vodafone in India and while browsing I receive an error stating "ur device does not currently have any browser configuration service book entries
pls cont ur serv provider to enable the browser on ur device". While vodafone people say there is no config required. Can someone please help me. Also pls let me know any additional application or browser I can install on this and from where I can obtain these. Thanks
