Hello BillJ....and everyone else, that's posted here. In a way, it's comforting to know (in a way) that I've not been the only one to experience this issue. I ended up phoning my cellphone service provider (Bell Mobility), and talking to one of their Tech Support people. They took me through some basic tests, with my handset. (I can't recall what most of them were). They put me through to Blackberry Tech Support. One of the things I was asked to do, was download a fresh copy of Blackberry App World. This still gave me the same error message I was getting before. I was then asked to setup a new Blackberry ID. For some reason, after doing this and trying to connect with the new ID.....I was able to access App World!
I still don't understand how or why my original ID wasn't working. Perhaps something got 'messed up' when I tried to restore my data from my Curve, onto my new handset (Torch 9800). Perhaps - for those of you that are still having trouble - try just that: download a fresh copy of App World, and install it. Then - setup a new Blackberry ID, and try connecting with that.
