Thanks for your reply. Please excuse my ignorance , I tried what you
suggested and didn't get very far. What's APN and how do I get it
"provisioned"?

It seems to me that the world is filling up with TLA's (Three Letter
Acronyms!)
Apart from GPRS of course which is a FLAA (A Four Letter Acronym
Anomaly!)

It's all very confusing. But thanks for your advice. I may wait a bit
until the OS5 software comes out.
