I am trying to get my 7100g, which is still running on an AT&T plan, configured for the Internet. I used to have a 7280, and did very little browsing, so I never bothered with the settings. I get to a few text-based sites through AT&T's mMode, and that's o.k. so far as it goes. But as I've tried to set up my new BB, it seems that its got greater capabilities than just displaying text from websites. I've tried using the AT&T settings for TCP and then the Cingular settings for TCP, but still its like being on compuserve, circa 1991 (text only). I have to confess that I am a BB dolt. I have the e-mail and phone functions down (my primary uses), but I still can't seem to access images or get decent functionality on the web. Could it be a built-in limitation from AT&T? How can I tell when it is configured properly?
