Blackberry problem here.

There is Wi-Fi set up and my iPhone has absolutely no problem at all connecting and going online - I use it for my radio etc. My other manager got the HTC Desire this morning and it connected no problem.

The Blackberry finds the Wi-Fi and even goes to the login screen as everyone elses does. After this it still doesn't seem to connect to the Internet. The Wi-Fi logo is greyed out, apparently this should be white. And in the connections it just has a white dash next to it, instead of a green tick or red cross. My recommendation of getting an iPhone or something that isn't a BlackBerry wasn't really appreciated so I'd love to get to the bottom of this problem, as I get annoyed when something like this beats me!!

Thanks

I see Vodafone have lumped a load of bloatware in with their Android update on the Desire. Hmmm, I'm with them at the moment and was looking to upgrade to the Desire next month, but this may alter my plans.

Have you tried going through the set up wizard again?

I got informed to go with someone like Craphone Whorehouse as they dont brand their phones like Orange/Voda do and the desire for me is spot on with CPW.

Yep. Got rid of the existing settings and tried fresh. It just does the same thing everytime. We can get to the work login and nothing after that. Just wondering if there is something you have to do with a BlackBerry first. Bit annoying as iPhone and HTC was just a case of turning wi-fi on and logging in once!

You are not filtering MAC addresses are you?
Check that it isn't being refused at the firewall too.

Ok now I have a problem.

Basically I deleted some emails from my Yahoo account on my Nokia X6, I only wanted to delete them from the phone and not from my mailbox. They're not in my deleted items and I cannot find them anywhere.

To avoid this happening again I attempted to find the setting where you can select whether it just deletes from the phone or from the server - or both! I cannot find this setting nor can I find any information about it on the internet.

Blackberry was so much easier. HELP!!

Update

Still haven't found the setting but now my phone won't turn on at all

Turned it off when i went in to the dentist, turned it back on when I came out and it gets to the Nokia screen and wont go any further

Further update

Ended up finding a shortcut on the internet to completely wipe the phone. Working again now, although there's nothing on it!!

Does anyone know if there are updates for the Xperia? I guess that is an Android phone, but the Mrs is moaning about it constantly freezing on her.

Maybe a good clearout of the cache and widgets from the home screens might help.
