I am a Nextel subscriber who is using a 7520 and the site itslef is incredible. I found that the only thing I couldn't have access to was the push services menu (with the same result as those with Nextel 7510/7520 has had). Hopefully, the html browser supposedly coming out for Nextel in April will reolve this issue. Definite bookmark!

Me too. I'm using the 7100g with Cingular. When I go to the games link, I only see a link to the Magmic website where they offer to download trial versions. Are these games trial versions or are they full versions of the game?

For people who keep getting black-and-white versions of this page, it may be helpful to follow these instructions here:
BlackBerry Web Browser FAQ: Full HTML and Images
Make sure that emulation is also set to "BlackBerry", and every option is enabled in the Browser Preferences including JavaScript. Do the "Register Now" trick, as well as the "Send Internet Browser Service Book" button via your BWC/BIS. (For more information, click the above link)

Did that. The only open I disabled was "javascript popup windows". But the regular "javascript" option is turned on.

There is no "send internet browser service book" option in my BWC. There is only one "send service book" option which is for the BWC email. The instructions in this section say to send this if you are having problems with your email.
The internet browser on my 7100g is simply called "Browser" and it does access full HTML pages in color and with Javascript and all.
I noticed that even on my PC I am only able to see the page in B&W. I think perhaps only BES users will see the color version.
Has anyone using Cingular been able to view this page in color? And if so, which Blackberry are you using and are you on BES or BWC?

It's normal for the page to be B&W on the desktop... That happens to me.
However, the BlackBerry is supposed to automatically download the color SVG version of the page, if the browser is properly configured.... Strange, since even non-BES Nextel NOL users are able to access this...
Let's see if other Cingular users have ever successfully browsed this page in color without using BES...

I second that. When I go to the page on my PC I see b&w as well. I have cingular service - BWC - not BES.
I think only BES have this in color.

ATTW 7290 here on BWC. All works in color and can access all areas and downloads.

Rogers BlackBerry 7280 (4.0) user here, can access in full color too.
This is with and without BES, I checked -- I've removed myself from Mailstreet and tested a few things, between my time I removed myself from Mailstreet, and put myself on Idokorro's BES (my new employer.)

Is there a way to get the free games on the B&W version? When I go to the "games/applications" page, I see a single link for "Magmic" which brings me to their web page. On that page I see links for the following:
Medieval Kings Chess - Download Trial, The ultimate game of battle & strategy... Chess!
Texas Hold'em King - Download Trial, Quit your job and become a professional poker player!
Breeders' Cup 2005 - Download Trial, The Sport of Kings right at your Finger Tips!
Raging Rivers - Download Trial, Get ready to travel around the world and challenge your extreme kayaking skills!
-----
Since they all say "Download Trial", does that mean these are trial versions and only the free version is available on the color blackberry extras site?

Is this site owned and run by RIM? If so, perhaps I should give them a call on monday and ask what's up. I called them once before and they seemed nice enough and answered all my questions.

Yes, this site is owned and operated by RIM. It's their "Plazmic" web demo.
However, this site is very new, that I don't think even everyone at RIM knows about it yet!

That site was made with the Plazmic Content Developers Kit.
Make sites like this of your own, download here: http://www.plazmic.com/en/download/index.shtml

Internet Browser Setting...
For those that are using the "Internet Browswer" check your browser settings:
From an open browser:
1.Click the wheel,scroll to and select "option", then "Browser Confirguration"
2.Check to see that "Content Mode" is set to "WML and HTML" and not just WML.
3.Go backand try the mobile.blackberry.com again.
Also: confirm that "Show Images" is set to "WML and HTML pages" and that "Show Image Placeholders" is set to "No"
If you DO NOT have the option of changing from "WML only", then contact your service provider.
Cincinnati Bell does NOT currently support "WML and HTML"...they are "working" on it.....hmmmmmmm
Hope this helps.
