Make sure you back up your phone data (phonebook, sms messages etc)
before you get the software update as it will reset your phone to
factory defaults you can do this via infra-red with Nokia data suite, or
ask the dealer who does the upgrade to do it for you (or better still do
both)

The APN for internet access over bluetooth or irda needs to be set in:

Menu -> Settings -> GPRS modem settings -> edit current access point

This can be confusing as GPRS settings for the phones internal WAP
browser, which have no relation to GPRS over bluetooth can be entered under:

Menu -> Services -> Settings

Extreme excitement!!

I got it! More detail will follow...but it was another sub-menu [in the
phone]. Something about GPRS modem settings. It was set to use the
Microbrowser APN. Changed it to "internet.com", and BINGO.

<Evil cackling>

So now I need to clarify exactly what "WAP" browsing is. I realize that I
can connect to my cell providers' service with *only* the cellphone. I have
done this, actually. They call it a 'MicroBrowser'. (Seems pretty
worthless, really.)

Or, I can link up the cell with the laptop [via BT] and access the www, AND
my e-mail account at my regular ISP. (!!)

In fact, drbob, I think that maybe you have already been assisting me in the
Jon's forum. If that is the case, then I will def. write to you directly.
But now, I need to crash. (It's 2300h Sunday here)

Cheers!
