I just received a new BlackBerry 9650 Bold as a replacement for my 9630 Tour. I’d been having multiple issues with several replacements. Vzw was kind enough to offer an upgrade to the Bold. So, being new to having Wifi I checked on BlackBerry Answers to find out what I needed to do. The following is what I found when I entered “How to connect to a WiFi network.” Now I just need to get back home and try these “instructions for dumbies.” Or should I say “rookies?”
