Please don't shout.
As you have seen, there is quite a lot of material regarding networking on this forum, it is a common problem.
There is not one solution that fits everyone. For some, the best solution is BIS_B and BES, but this is no good for streaming. A lot of people don't have Alliance membership so can't get BIS-B anyway (you have to ask for this). Other people try WiFi first and then have fall back to direct TCP. or WAP. This is especially useful for high volume transfer, but of course WiFi is not always there and some older devices don't even support it. And for some people, the carrier paln includes free internet so direct TCP is is OK, for others this is charged. And then of course you start talking about coporate Blackberry devices whose network options are tied down by their BES administrators.
So you can shout all you like, no one can provide you with the exact extension that will always work in your circumstances. It depends on at least the following:
a) Capability of device
b) Charging plan of carrier
c) Requirements of application, especially streaming and size
d) security access allowed for BES users
e) Alliance partnership or PUSH access for BIS-B
We can provide you with samples. Here are some
1) If you are developing for OS 5.0 and above, then download the Facebook SDK and look at the connection code in there.
2) If you are developing for pre OS 5.0 devices, then look at the code in here:

3) If you want to code that handles anything, then look here

There are loads more if you look around.
Hope this helps.
