+The BonSpielmans Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I recently got a Black Berry Tour and am very happy with it. I have surfed many websites without issue but of course the one site I REALLY want to surf (Geocaching.com) only lets me get part way! I can log in on the home page without trouble and can get at forums and other items of interest. My problem comes when I try to search for caches. I type a zipcode in like I do at home and hit "search". It chugs for a couple seconds....tells me it's loading something....and then pops back up with the home page. I have also tried plugging in the specific GC code for a chache I knew of and it did the same thing....acts like it's loading something and then pops back to the home page. I have tried going into a specific cache from my profile page and I can't get it to go into the details page that way either. I have had limited success going into the WAP version of the site but get error messages when I hit the "Google Maps" link midway through. I have gone directly to a Google Map and had no issues pulling it up so I don't think that is the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Also...if/when I get this issue fixed does anybody know of an application I can use on my Tour (with Verizon) to cache directly without using my normal GPSr? Quote Link to comment
+brenda&&rew Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Sorry to not offer any assistance but I am having similar difficulties with my Blackberry Curve. When I am at the page of caches that I have not found I can not get to anything but the first page.... if I click on any other page number it appears as if it is going to work but always goes back to page 1. I says that there is a javascript error. Although javascript runs fine for other websites. I have tried all kinds of variations in the options of my phone but nothing seems to work. I use a BB curve 8330 through Virgin Mobile. And I have contacted Virgin but they can't seem to help me with anything... although I am waiting to hear back from them but I am not holding my breath that it will work this time.

+The BonSpielmans Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I still haven't sorted it out either. I have however had limited success using the "WAP" site I read about in a different blog. basically it's just WAP.geocaching.com instead of WWW. It's a slimmed down version of the site with no pictures. I have at least been able to get in and read the postings and see the coordinates as long as I know the GC number. Quote Link to comment

I found the problem to be with the BB browser. Download Opera mini or Bolt. Quote Link to comment
+Arrow42 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I found the problem to be with the BB browser. Download Opera mini or Bolt. I've had similar issues with my storm. I've had good luck switching from the BB browser to the already installed IE Browser. Quote Link to comment
