Default Blackberry 8700 and Ramble IM

Please Login to Remove!

Like everyone else with their Blackberry 8700, I am getting the error:

"Invalid Connection String: Could not open tunnel - failed."

What exactly do us 8700 users to do fix this?

(I searched through these forums forever and never found an answer and I went to the homepage and discovered that the 8700 is not on their list for support...yet).

Remove the battery of the BB so it reboots.
