I don't get it. Why are you going to an external site through phonegap? phonegap is created with the purpose of displaying local html pages as the UI for an application, not to use as a browser, for that, you can use a browser. — Th0rndike
yes, but my application is webservice based. Need to implement as Blackberry app.In this case network should work to hit the server! To check my network is working I tried to goto Google site. I need help for the same. — Muthukumar
Did you set the proper permissions in the blackberry manifest files? — Th0rndike
find between your project files a file named "config.xml" and post it's contents in your question. — Th0rndike

You probably need to whitelist google.com in your config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" 
    xmlns:rim="http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets" 
    version="1.0.0.0">
<name>commonPitfalls</name>

    <access subdomains="false" uri="http://www.google.com"/>

</widget>

From: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Web-and-WebWorks-Development/Common-BlackBerry-WebWorks-development-pitfalls-that-can-be/ta-p/624712

Alternatively, instead of checking google.com, you could use the connection api that PhoneGap offers: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.8.0/cordova_connection_connection.md.html#Connection

Or use an xhr to google.com (with the appropriate whitelisting in your config.xml) to see if you get a response that way instead of loading in a page.
