Websites can be coded to perform better with some browsers rather than others. The BB Browser can appear to websites as several different things...that setting is, from within the Browser App, (BBKey > Options > Browser Configuration > Browser Identification). Changing that to another browser might help your BB interact better with some websites. In combination with all of the other configuration settings, you need to find the combination of all of these settings that works best for the sites you are visiting. Sadly, there is no "best advice" to give as each persons needs are different. But, I typically find that changing the Browser Identification often helps -- most often by changing to FF or IE (if those are available to you...the options vary by carrier).
Good luck!

The most obvious choice to me was my carrier's service, but when I change to that I am no longer directed straight to the blackbery homepage.
I'll be honest, I was hoping this phone would be clever enough to set itself up better than this, but I keep having niggly little problems and can't find any basic tutorial as to what I need to do to get it running properly. Hopefully someone here can help me!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Well, in plain English, there simply are no "best" settings that work for everyone. Everyone is unique, and uses their unique set of services. And it is that set of services that dictate the proper combination of settings for that user. For this specific issue, I suggest you keep trying and find that combination that works for you. No one else can duplicate it for you unless you tell them all of the different things that you are attempting.
As for those "niggly little problems"...if they are not the same as this issue, then by all means ask away...that's why we volunteer here...to try and help folks get the best they can out of their BB.
Good luck!
