I bought this unlocked phone off of e-bay for $20. Here's what I did to get it talking to I-Wireless

• Install Blackberry Desktop Software from www.blackberry.com
• On your PC, click on TOOLS → MOBILE INTERNET SETTINGS.
• click on ADD CUSTOM PROFILE
• PROFILE NAME = I-Wireless (doesn't really matter)
• ACCESS POINT = i2.iwireless.com
• all other fields blank.
• click on OK to save the custom profile
• click on SAVE then OK from the MOBILE INTERNET SETTINGS menu.
• You can test by clicking on TOOLS → START MOBILE INTERNET
• This should tether your PC to your Blackberry and confirm that you have the data settings correct.

I did come acros this error message when loading some apps on it: your device does not currently have any browser configuration service book entries After a little search-engine-fu, I discovered that it appears that I get that message because my phone was originally sold to T-Mobile, and isn't considered by Blackberry to be “registered as an I-wireless device.” Rumor has it that you can register your unlocked phone by…

• click on OPTIONS → ADVANCED OPTIONS → COST ROUTING TABLE → push wheel to bring up menu → REGISTER NOW.
• I didn't have any luck going that route, so YMMV.
• LogicMail FTW! (Install Instructions HERE )

So far Opera Mini 4.2 for blackberry works great for web browsing. I haven't had any luck getting the official Blackberry Messenger or the official Yahoo or AOL IM clients to work. Yahoo's tries to authenticate forever and then gives up, AOL messenger says that it's not authorized to run on this particular Blackberry. Once again, YMMV. Trapster works, provided you manually enter your location (the model I have is sans GPS or camera). I'd call this phone a 75% success so far, and worth the $20 I shelled out for it.

I bought this unlocked phone off of e-bay for $28. Here's what I did to get it talking to I-Wireless

    I got MMS to work...

    Internet was easy,
    winmo dial connections add new and all you need is a name and
    i2.iwiress.com

    but MMS was a pain but on a winmo phone go to add connections and add:
    connecting name: whatever you want
    apn: wap9.iwireless.com everything else blank...
    then find MMS settings (go to text options and scroll to mms options)make sure you choose dial what ever you named the connection that is wap9.iwireless.com and this is where you need the proxy settings of 209.4.229.32:9201 and the http://mmsc.iwireless.dataonair.net:6672
    wap1.2 worked for me not sure if wap2 works but hey who cares as long as it works..

    I have a windows mobile phone - Blackjack i607 - and i've used internet on it before (web 2)
    I recently "reset" my phone and it erased everything back to cingular crap.
    I go to Settings/Connections/GPRS/GPRS and it says connect to: The Internet, Secure WAP Network, WAP Network, Work
    For the APN I put i2.iwireless.com
    User/Pass blank
    Primary and secondary dns both 0.0.0.0
    IP Address blank
    And for GPRS Authentication the options are PAP, CHAP, and None
    What should i choose to get this to work?

    Well i'm from the above post about the blackjack
    Here's how you configure it on there!
    (I took a great guess and it worked)
    In GPRS settings it needs to be i2.iwireless.com for the apn and
    0.0.0.0:8080 for the ip
    Connects to: The Interenet
