Actually not, as anyone knows that's actually tested the connectivity.
Any such WAP blocking is being done by MySpace, as I noted previously.

Hey SMS,
Thank you very much!

No, I did not know about the two browsers you cited below, I'll do a
Google search for the Netfront WB tonight when I get home from work.

Thanks!

In God's Grace,
Ric

They block certain phone numbers too. Of course they're not alone with
these shenanigans. Many carriers do this sort of thing.

In any case, have you tried the Doris or Netfront browser? Th E62 is S60
based, and runs Symbian, so these should work. Doris doesn't support
JavaScript but Netfront does. I don't know if either will be better than
Opera.

That's probably MySpace, not Cingular.

Opera Mini accesses the standard Web through Opera proxy servers.

My guess(tm) is that MySpace doesn't have a free open WAP interface.
