Update: ATTWS/Cingular customers with newer model RIM devices (like the 7290 for example) may find this method does not work. If so, call your service number and tell them you want them to activate your HTML browser on your device. It will be like wireless magic, and you'll be all set.

WAP browsing not working well for you? Feel the need to see the Google graphic when you go to do a search? Are the sites you're trying to browse simply broken when you try to view them on your RIM device in WAP mode? If you have a RIM Blackberry with the newer software, do this (mine's a RIM 7280 on AT&T Wireless, your mileage may vary):

  1. Go to the M-mode web browser.
  2. Choose Options.
  3. On the keypad, type “RBRO” (without the quotes). An additional five or so menu items will appear.
  4. Click on “Browser Configuration.”
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and look for the “Constrained Content Mode” field. Change this from “WML Only” to “Unconstrained.”
  6. Click the wheel and choose “Save Options.”
  7. Again, go to “Browser Configuration.”
  8. Scroll down a few lines from the top to “Content Mode.” Change it from “WML only” to either “WML & HTML” or “HTML only” (your choice).
  9. Click the wheel and chose “Save options.”
  10. That's it. You can now browse HTML, graphics and all - just make sure your bandwidth allocations won't mean a big bill at the end of your billing month!

How does this work with the new 4.0 OS. You can't change Content Mode from WML Only (7780 device).
