WiFi for the 8330

Presently considering the Curve 8330.  I can find no information on whether it can connect to a home wifi or any other wifi network. Guidance sought.

The OP is referring to WiFi, not the cellular network of your carrier.  WiFi is your wireless internet connection in your house or at wifi hotspots at public places.  The BlackBerry usually uses the cellular network for it's data connection, however, some models have hardware that allows them to use a wifi connection for faster (or cheaper) connections to the internet.

    how to I get my ipod connected to wifi for the first time..it's an ipod tougch 2010 version, refurbished

    Hi,
    To connect your iPod to wifi just:
         1. Open settings,
         2. Tap Wi-Fi,
         3. Make sure the Wi-Fi switch is on,
         4. Tap the network you would like to connect to,
         5. If  the network has a password then type it in and press join.
    For hidden networks(networks that don't broadcast their SSID(name))
         1. Follow 1-3 above,
         2. Tap other,
         3. Type in SSID(name) of the network,
         4. Select the security of the network,
         5. If there is a password type it in,
         6. Press Join.
    Some public networks may now show a login screen where you  may have to agree to terms and conditions, enter your email etc...

  • Does anyone know when Verizon will offer 5.0 for the 8330?

    I'd really like to get away from 4.5.  I have 4.7 on my company BB (T-Mobile 8900) and like it much better, but from reading about 5.0 I think I will like it even better yet.  Unfortunately 4.5 is the only OS listed on Verizon's page for the 8330.  Does anyone know when they will release 5.0?  From everything I've read they are going to, but I'd like to know if I should expect a 6 week wait or a 2 year wait...
    Thanks, and sorry if this has been covered before, I was unable to find it if so.

    Coolness. BTW -- there will be little (if any) publication about when RIM goes "official" for what you are seeking. Rather, what you will see is that some carrier releases the version you seek...VZW will do what they do in their own sweet time.
    BTW -- you can find the 83xx forum on this site here:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Curve-BlackBerry-8300/bd-p/8300
    At the top, one of the stickies is a thread that Xandrex keeps updated with current versions of device OS's from each carrier (that he has information on, of course). I haven't waded through that thread (it's pretty long), but he might have a table for your model, which would guide you to where various carriers stand with release levels.
    If you find that a carrier has sanctioned a device OS you want, you can usually get it from them via their DL site via this portal:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    Then you can use these instructions to use it (don't mind that the instructions are for the Storm -- the process is the same I think):

    Is there no upgrade for Blackberry 8330 Curve to be able to use WiFi?

    Unfortunately no, the 8330 does not have a wi-fi adapter built into the device. The 8320 does have it however.

  • Wifi for the playbook

    I just bought my husband the playbook and we dont know how to get our phone to act as a wifi hotspot in order for us to use our phones for internet - we live in SA - help anyone??

    1. You can use the Bridge function on your BlackBerry handheld device to send a signal to your PlayBook.
    2. You can use the PlayBook > Options > Tether to your BlackBerry handheld device for a signal.
    or
    3. IF your handheld BlackBerry has the function of Mobile Hotspot, you can use that for the Playbook to connect via WiFi. I don't know what exact model of the Curve you have.
    What is your exact model number of Curve?
    And, What is your Operating System loaded to your device? Look at Options > Device > About, third line down beginning with a "v.7.0.x.xxx", What is yours?

  • Basic assistance for the 8330

    Was given this device and it will not be used for phone service.  Looking only for a WiFi connection and perhaps the calendar app.  I have the PDF manual and still cannot find guidance on establishing a WiFi internet connection independent of a cell phone connection.  Guidance sought

  • *** on wifi for the eIOS    what a mistake I made upgrading  Cannot join any wifi network

    any help out there, another apple screw up

    I don't know why some are having this issue, my wifi works great...even faster than before. It seems like wifi connection issues might need to be addressed with this update though as it seems people are having a common problem. My only solution for you might be to reset your router, wipe your device clean and restore with previous 5.1.1. Try again in a week or so.

  • The IPad said backup necessary via wireless. If you don't have wifi for the backup any suggestions?

    New IPad 2 locked the screen and stated" backup necessary via wireless". My friend has Verizon, but no wireless. I used my wireless, but did not backup. It now works. Any suggestions?

    Take your IPAD to a "hot spot"...McDonalds, Panera Bread, etc... Most have free WiFi available.

  • WiFi for the G3 600

    Hello,
    I'm interested in buying a G3 but am wondering how I can connect it wirelessly to the internet. From my understanding it doesn't have WiFi. I do have a wireless router but I'm not sure if it is a "receiver." Basically I'm in an office building and want to connect to their internet wirelessly, what are my options?

    Which one is the most effective?
    They're all about the same. An USB component may require the installation of software.
    By original (Airport card) do you mean the one that comes with the computer?
    You wrote 'From my understanding it doesn't have WiFi.' above, which I interpreted as meaning it doesn't have an AirPort card. If it does, just use that.

  • Can I use my IMac OS 10.4 (old) to set up a wifi router, such as Airport Base, so I can have a wifi connection for the iPhone I plan to buy?  My IMac is not wifi capable.

    Can I use my several-years-old IMac OS 10.4 to set up a wireless router, such as Aiport Base, so I can have wifi for the iPhone I plan to buy.  My IMac is not wife capable. 

    Yes, Airport Express Base Station connected to your Mac by ethernet will work as a bridge. Or you can connect the AE directly to your router/modem by ethernet if it's a non-wi-fi router and it will act as a relay for that.
