Does this really work?
I just got a BB Curve 8320, for TMobile, and i dont wish to waste 30$ a month just for a data plan i will hardly use.
I Currently have an UNLM messaging plan.. but if Picture messages arent able to work on the phone i will feel cheated out...

Can someone point me in the right direction? What to download? tyvm

I have 2 Blackberries on my AT&T plan without data(a curve and a pearl) and it works on both. I have seen others that couldn't make it work and oddly enough an AT&T rep told me it was impossible. I simply agreed with them and enjoyed what I have. My girls can SMS, MMS, and IM under my unltd multimedia family plan without a data plan. I have one phone on that family plan that has a data plan.

With the new OS all you will need is the "Blackberry Enabler" added to your account. It will cost you nothing and gives you access to T-Zones along with full MMS messaging capabilities. If you purchased the phone with service, they should have added it on during activation. If you got it afterwards, then it is a simple phone call to CS or visit to your local store.

Edit: this is no longer valid. I wrote it when one stacker was failing to load the new OS. Sorry.
Just connect your device and run DM which should automatically tell you that an upgrade is available

Thank you amigo, Turns out i needed to do nothing at all. i receive MMS messages and can go on my web browser when i connect to my home internet via WiFi.

I had another question though... if i use my wifi on my phone(access my home internet via my phone)... will i incur more tmobile fees? thanks again.

Theoretically, no, you shouldn't see anymore fees when using the WiFi browser if you have no data plan, but I personally have little experience there since almost all my customers have BB data on their accounts. Now, if you have BB data, I can most confidently state, no, you will not incur any extra fees for using wifi at home on your BB device.
