A bit back I had a friend of mine ask me about a problem he had when buying a ringtone from AT&T’s MEdia Net store. I told him that his first problem was paying for a ringtone but that is besides the point. While trolling the RIM Knowledgebase today and ran into a work around RIM has provided for the issue.
The problem stems from the fact that by default the WAP Browser is set to the Shop Applications service which does not work with ringtones. The idiocy of this screwup by AT&T is ironic. The funny part is that this should be an easy fix since the MEdia Net application is pushed to the device OTA by AT&T.
For now RIM has posted the following work around
Change the Default WAP browser configuration to MEdia Net Browser, by completing the following steps:
- On the Home screen, go to Settings > Options > Advanced Options > Browser.
- Highlight the Default WAP browser configuration field.
- Display the menu and select MEdia Net.
- Display the menu and select Save.
- Open the MMS message containing the ring tone access information and click Load. The MEdia Net service will be used for loading future ring tones.

Following on 
Research In Motion, maker’s of the heralded enterprise-oriented BlackBerry lineup of smartphone, has just given their blessing on a new “authorized” BlackBerry store in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Of all the places RIM could have chosen to bless with a BlackBerry-only retail storefront, we can’t imagine why they would pick the fairly non-glitzy township in the heartland of the US. Manhattan, Los Angeles, heck, even somewhere in Canada (RIM is from Canada, by the way) would have made more sense than Farmington Hills.
I cannot count how many times I have been asked if there is a way to monitor data usage on your BlackBerry. I do not have this issue since I am on an unlimited plan but many other users in other countries are hobbled by limited BlackBerry data plan. For these users it has been a hit and miss effort to make sure that you do not exceed your alloted data usage. Overages are expensive with each megabyte costing up to $10.
