It seems as if I cannot view pictures through the WAP browser on my 8600. Why is that? Is it because the browser is crappy or is because Verizon sucks?
I love how on Sprint you can see pictures and stuff on their wap.

Its Verizon. They lock that stuff out. My 8600 can view pics just fine.

Verizon still uses an old verision of WAP this is why you cannot see pictures not because verizon locks them out.
In a sense it could be seen as locked out cause they have decided not to upgrade to the latest and greatest but its just an old version they chose to still use that does not aloow for the viewing of pictures among other things

is there any way to upgrade the browser version or is it something that only verizon could do with a firmware upgrade? Because it really sucks.

I've heard some debate ont his but don;t knwo what hte truth is.
I think they are suppsoed to offer a wap 2.0 capable system ie sprint vision by the ned of the summer but no one knows if it will eb usable by old phones by an upgrade or gin or what
as for now I beleive verizon servers are still runnign the old wap 1.1 stuff so it wouldnt; matter if your phoen was upgraded or not
so for now sorry your stuck with the crap content

Yea I also read that phones with WAP 2.0 are able to browse now but it won't be official until the end of June. Hopefully they will make it so that we can also use wap 2.0

I have a Verizon version of the 8600 and I am able to view pictures. However, the only types that I know work are WBMP format and PNG format. I have not been able to view GIF or JPEG files with the WAP browser (Openwave v5.0.5)

yea the gif and jpeg files are the most popular ones on the web and i have not been able to view them. Those are the ones i want to be abe to view.
