Recently, I was given a Pearl 8100 (21st birthday present).
It's an unlocked, refurbished phone, but I haven't any problems with anything preloaded onto it. I also have a "Blackberry Data Plan" through AT&T. The internet works fine, and the non-internet based applications I've downloaded work fine too.
However, the applications that stream data (Facebook Mobile, AIM Mobile, etc) will download and install properly, but don't run properly. When I try to log-in to them, I get the message "Service Not Enabled for this Handheld" (Except for Facebook mobile, which gives me "Could not connect because a data service is not available. Please Try Again Later. If this continues, contact your service provider for support.").
I've called AT&T, and was told that the most likely cause for the problem is the application not being the appropriate version. (I was told that if even one application was the wrong version, it could make all of them unusable). I've followed the instructions I was given, and still can't get the applications to run properly.
Are there any settings I can change, or a place to get the "right" version of the application? Or will I have to live with not being able to get facebook updates 24/7 because it's an unlocked phone?
