Using Ebay from your Blackberry
If you absolutely have to keep on top of your ebay auctions, you should definitely look at the application that abidia offers called Abidia Wireless [RIM]. It works over WAP or BES and is compatible with the 5800, 6200, 6700, 7200, 7500 and 7700 series of Blackberries.
One of the interesting aspects of this MIDP 1.0 application is that (the WAP version at least) requires you to enter your carriers WAP settings directly into the application. I've written a couple of J2ME applications that make wireless conections to servers and one of the differences between the Blackberry 7280 and the Nokia 3650 is that this code:
InputStream is = null;
OutputStream os = null;
HttpConnection conn = null;
String query = ""
String requestMethod = HttpConnection.GET;
String name = "http://mysite.com/";
try {
conn = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(name + query, Connector.READ_WRITE);
conn.setRequestMethod(requestMethod);
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Close");
is = conn.openInputStream();
int code = conn.getResponseCode();
String type = conn.getType();
if (code == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
//....
works fine on the 3650, but the same code on the 7280 (no BES) produces:
java.io.IOException: Could not find a service book entry for IPPP
Anyone know why?

the ippp entry is what links u to the bes server as a httpproxy, if on the bb you change the default browser to the telco's wap browserbb->options->browser->telco browser then you likely will not have that error anymore.
