A problem occurred while trying to render the page

I've been happily using my new Blackberry 8830 for the past month, and all of a sudden, I kept getting the following error message from the Blackberry browser:
A problem occurred while trying to render the page
This started on one site, and then quickly spread to all the sites I used.

I knew it couldn't be something in any of the sites themselves, because the browser never got past the "requesting" step (whicn means it didn't connect to the site yet). I searched the forums and google with no luck.

Eventually Brian suggested I find the cache for the browser and delete it. This did the trick. So, if you ever encounter this error, you may want to try to do that. When in the browser, select the Options menu. Then select Cache Operations. Clear only the Content Cache. If things start working at that point, you had the same problem I did.

I had the same issue, but googling for an answer led me to your site. Thanks for the info, I think I'm OK (at least Blackberry-wise...)
