I have the same problem. I get that message saying that my BB does not meet the system requirements.
I'm from Brazil and don't have the data plan, just the wi-fi connection.
But from that message I thought that it had something to do with the software of my BB, I thought that I should be needing some update or something. This is not it? There are APPs blocked if you don't have a data plan??? That sounds insane and very lame...
iPhone is not like that! Even because you can download it from the internet... Oh if that information is right I'm gonna be so mad!!!
And JASONTAN87, the BB8520 doesn't have support for GPS, only A-GPS, that is like GoogleMaps or similar... I don't know if your have to download some app to have GoogleMaps at any time, or if this means you can only access it when having a connection.

i have a bb curve 8520 (edge,wifi) v5.0.0.822, platform 5.2.0.76 tmobile brand + at&t
i have no sim card, and device isnt unlocked.
well at first i had free wifi, i updated the os a few times, wiped the device more than needed, and performed battery pulls........ still got free wifi for over 3 months. did with no type of data plan.
i called tmobile to request a unlock. i got the run around to go to RIM for help. the next day i have no wifi. i try to turn it on the check mark vanishes, the red x notifying connection is off never turns to green on.
not only that my mac address is 00:00:00:00:00:00.
i only want the free wifi for home use, i just got into developing for the bb smartphones. this device only purpose is a portible workspace to write code,test apps, and simulators on the go, so i can learn more about this craft. can someone help me get rid of my wifi bug. will highly appreciate it, as well as share some of my top secret work .
