Yes, if you want to stop/disable the vendorID checks disabling some Themes. The AT&T OS ships/downloads locked to a few themes just as it would be on your 8300 now from them.

Just downloaded the ATT software, and it didn't do anything different.

one thing i noticed when it listed all the different apps, was that the Browser was greyed out-i couldn't check or uncheck it like the rest of the applications.

is there something i'm doing wrong or something that i'm missing? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I searched for "vendorID" in the entire AT&T install directory and didn't see anything specifically limiting (or eliminating) the web browser from the 8300... I think this is a service book issue. Comparing my service books (I have the t-zones link, no browser) with those who do not (on the other bb forum site); we've found that I've been pushed service books that others were not. I didn't do anything special, just on a different entry in the Host Routing Table.

that's wierd that you'd get those service books pushed and others didn't. i've had my curve for almost 3 weeks, and i'm starting to get frustrated with not having the browser available. almost defeats the purpose of having a smartphone.

Yeah, I absolutely can't explain why I would somehow get extra service books that other's do not. The only explanation that I can come up with is that t-mobile might have some type of "partial" rollout supporting the 8300?? Maybe like a market area beta test? Who knows...

For those of you who aren't receiving the BB browser, are you at least receiving the T-Zones browser? Also, in my experience, the AT&T OS is the cause of the missing browser, so I'd recommend using the O2 software for now, unless someone else discovers something I haven't managed to.

The O2 software worked for me.I had a little trouble mentioned above but your steps were dead on. There is a newer OS on vadafone(uk) but if the O2 works why bother.
Thanks-you rock
