Blackberry PDF Viewer
I have a blackberry 8320.
How can I view PDF files on the handset.
--------------------------
About my setup
I use my blackberry as a regular phone/mini computer but I am not connected to any data services.
I have tried using beamberry pdf viewer but it wants to connect to a server. Given my setup I am not able to do this. Is there any PDF viewer product which I can buy/free which does not require the handset to connect to a server for an initial registration?

You want the blackberry pearl/curve version.
the file is also a .jad file, which means you'll need to download it wirelessly.
You've got an 8320, which means you have wifi. Connect to a hotspot and, using the hotspot browser, go to the webpage. You should be able to get to it fine. Click on the link and away you go.

Like i said, I don't have any data services, I have just put my sim card from my regular phone into a blackberry. For this reason I can not connect to the web page wirelessly.
I have downloaded the jab file to my pc. Can I transfer it using bluetooth?

You don't actually need a data-enabled SIM in order to use the hotspot browser. You can even take the sim card out and still use it, as long as you're connected to a Wifi hotspot (and are authenticated to it if necessary).
Just ensure that your default browser is set to "hotspot browser".

I don't have wi-fi set up on my home computer. Is it not possible to do this via bluetooth?

Yes I have a wifi router but it is not set up.
I have the desktop manager setup and would prefer to use it over wifi.
I had a breif look and could not set anyway loading a Jab file using the desktop manager. Is it possible?

No, you can't install a .jad file using desktop manager - only .cod files! The only way to install a .jad is to use your device to download it, i.e. over WiFi from your device NOT your PC with desktop manager.

Ok. I'll look at it when I get home tonight.
