How To Separate SMS & Email Messages

No so much an error as a common question, but some users prefer to have separate inboxes for SMS/MMS messages & emails, while some prefer to have them all in one place.  To change this option is simple - In your Message go to Options > General Options and change SMS and Email Inboxes to separate.  This will give you individual folders for your SMS/MMS and Email messages. Keep in mind this setting can be affected by some custom themes. 

My Browser Is Missing

A common issue that shows up more often than you would think.  Commonly after activating a new device or upgrading the OS.  There is a simple fix, but most users don't know where to start. 

·         Insure you have a BlackBerry data plan

·         Make sure the icon is not hidden - press the Menu key and select Show All - see if the icon is on the screen at all

Go to Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table.  Press the Menu key and select Register Now

Wait about 30 seconds and the icon should appear. Sometimes it may take longer depending on your service etc. so be patient.  If it doesn't show up after a while (10 minutes or so) try a battery pull.  After the restart if it still doesn't appear, you may need to resend your service books as described above
