GPRS is working on the 6600 in very few places, since few providers have not yet upgraded their networks to support it, supposedly.

(Personally, I can't figure out what any network would have to do to create compatibility with a new GPRS phone, if they're already compatible with old GPRS phones. My suspicion is blocks put on the networks to keep devices out, that have not been removed.)

Could you post your provider info in the thread on GPRS compatibility and settings?

its the conversion of WAP sites to HTML sites and its the allowing of GPRS access to a new access point that has proxy server and proxy port number [HTML based and not WAP based]

A proxy server is required for connectivity on the 6600? Really?

Can I just use a public proxy server, the way I used to be able to use a public WAP gateway?

That also does not, by the way, explain why the e-mail client does not work.

public proxy server...??? maybe.
here in the philippines, i can retrieve my email using Globe's paid APN [and the modified advance settings specified by the netwrok operator just fo rthe 6600] but i can't send email.

but on my P800, sending and recieving is not a problem.

I can sent email (smtp) but not receive (imap or pop).

Its very odd, because neither of those requires WAP, just TCP/IP, and I can't figure out why one would work but not the other.

Does it work with MMS as well?

It works great with the Opera browser and the Nokia browser app for Internet content and pop3 email. I have not tried MMS because, strangely, I don't know anyone who could receive an MMS message.
