Am I right in thinking that whenever you access the internet from your phone you will be viewing it using Opera?
The reason I ask is this.
If I connect to vodafone live, the browsing works and looks good.
(Is this OPERA)?
If I try to connect to any of the icons within the Opera Symbol for eg..Opera community, Opera Software, Services, etc it asks me for an access point which I select Vodafone GPRS (same as Vodafone live) and then it just hangs at connecting..The G appears under the antannae and 0kb are transferred and thats it...
Someone put me straight please.
Voda live is is using the built in WAP browser ("Services"😉.
Opera requires for you to have an Internet Access Point set up (+ corresponding access by your operator). Get the correct settings for that from your operator.

Hmm..
But for me to access vodafone live I would have to have an internet access point set up wouldn't I?
I have also accessed www.ebay.com with my phone. It's just when I click on any of the Opera icons..
The same happens to me, but with O2. As I'm on PAYG and not contract, I don't have access to Mobile Web, for full internet. But, if I use 'Services' with the WAP access point, I can connect to web sites fine (yes, real web sites, not just wap sites), but if I use Opera, it just sticks on 0% (but oddly, www.o2.co.uk will display fine in the browser, just no other site will).

No matter what operator you've got. You need a INTERNET CONNECTION to browse the web. Your Vodafone Live Connection is a WAP GATEWAY!! It has no DNS or whatsoever. Is not a problem of your phone. Contact Vodafone for your internet connection settings and thats it.
Surely some DNS settings must be present if we can connect to web sites (such as www.ebay.com) via Services, albeit using the WAP Gateway?
Edit: I've just checked on my O2 GPRS WAP settings, and there are DNS entries present.
The operator's WAP gateway controls what you're allowed access to.
Some operators only allow access to their own (WAP) services.
Some operators and their WAP gateways allow pass-through access to actual [Internet] web sites (and some WAP gateway products, such as the one from Nokia for operators, do HTML/HTTP to WML/WSP conversions on the fly, if the operator has enabled that feature).
Even if no conversion is done by the WAP gateway, some web sites (if the WAP gateway allows access, as mentioned above) may still be accessible as the built-in WAP browser is a basic XHTML 1.0 browser & it can render some HTML sites (that the XHTML parser manages to crunch into something displayable).
ok...
But...
My first question still stands.
When you view wap sites/web sites on the 6600, are you viewing them through Opera?

The answer is on the first line of my first reply immediately after your question. Is it somehow unclear?

To make it perfectly clear: No you're not using Opera, you're using the inbuilt Services browser.

Yeah..Sorry 😞
Now we need to find out how to use Opera (yes I know you say you need internet access points..etc), but vodafone's site doesn't specifiy anything about internet access points.
The only access points that are stated I have set up already.
Vodafone GPRS
Vodafone MMS

Huzzah!!
Nice 1 Will.
Works like a dream. May I ask where you found these settings?
I was just about to call vodafone 😊
I'm suprised no one else gave them too you - it's standard for GPRS internet, most 3rd party programs will need it - including Oplayo which streams video over the internet into mobiles..
Plus Vodafone have now started to include it already configured on their new phones as of December 2003.
