It's been a while since I've used a BB but I think you go to your options menu, advanced, then TCP settings. Hope it helps.

given my understanding of BB, it is a waste to use it on SO.

only settings under TCPIP is APN Settings Enable: checked off
APN: http://wap:8582/start.wml
APN Authentication is Enabled

and user name wapuser1

password wap.

No other settings to set like what is needed above? I still can't get data access. I tried host routing tables in the options as well

your apn setting is wrong. it should be 'goam.com' but if you have no option to setup proxy, it would not work.

even if you do, they only thing that works AFAIK is the browser(or may be third party app). The key things like BBM or anything related to it would never work on SO.

What OS are you running?

I found this:

1
Turn on your BlackBerry Bold by pressing the end call/power button until the screen lights up. Press the menu key to open up the applications list.

2
Click "Settings" and then click "Options." Click "Advanced Options." Click "TCP."

3
Enter the APN settings for your mobile provider into their fields. Press the menu key and then click "Save."

That is how I did it when I used a BB on Speakout. I even had push email working using a cloud application called "Funambol".
