6630 pc-modem problem

Hi everybody!
I have a very strange and specific problem with my new 6630 and I'd like to know if anyone has experienced something similar.

I bought my 6630 primarily to use it as a fast modem both on UMTS and on EDGE networks here in Italy.
I'm just starting to test it and it seems to work well while surfing and downloading files (I'm using it right now!).

The only problem I had up till now is related to a video-conference software: Ivisit.
When I used it with my Motorola E1000 UMTS I never had any sort of problems but when I use the 6630 after a few minutes the incoming video streams hang and the modem freezes.
After that there is no way of getting the modem back to work (every connection attempt fails) unless i restart it manually.
I tried it with both TIm and Vodafone, with different PCs, messing up with the modem settings, buffers, comnpression methods... no way!

The answers may be:
1)There is a firmware bug in dealing with multiple TCP/IP streams and high volumes of trafic (hopeless)
2)My phone is buggy (I may try bringing it to the nearest Nokia Centre)
3)There is some unexplainable conflict with my Creative Notebook WebCam... (???)

Has anyone had other problems with video-conference software, webcams et similia?

Thanks a lot!

Steven 😉

I reach peaks of 40/45 KB but usually with long downloads the speed tends to 30 KB...
