Technical/Blackberry Assistance

Does anyone know whether you can set the Blackberry internet browser so that you can post in the DG?  I can review threads on my Bberry but can't figure out how to post.  (If it helps, I have Verizon model 8703e.)
Thx
Carl

Carl, I post from my blackberry all the time.  In fact I am on it now.  But I don't use the blackberry browser.  In my opinion the opera mini browser works much better once you get used to it.  Just open your blackberry browser and google "opera mini".  It is a free download.  Send me an IM if you have any trouble.

Thanks Ed.  Unfortunately I can't install or use new applications on my blackberry.

So when I see the mobile icon next to a poster's name/post, am I to presume that that person is posting using Opera (assuming the mobile device is a blackberry) since the standard blackberry browser doesn't permit posting?

[Carl Nichols]

No--thanks to Peter P, I am posting from my bberry browser.

how?

Having a couple of Blackberries I could never figure out how to post on this board, but that was probably just some simple configuration or setting I needed to adjust. A long time ago I downloaded Opera and use it (I am posting this now using it) and it is easy. I don't use the std BB browser for anything.

The problem I had (but didn't realize) was that I was viewing the DG without logging in, and thus was seeing the DG as a guest--and therefore no reply option was popping up. What I'm now doing is going to the general GCA site, jumping to the DG, getting the sign-in option, and  being able to reply.
