The 6630 built in browser seems to have rubbish or no cache management. When I click back it re-downloads the page and the GPRS counter goes up some more.
I had a Samsung D500 for a brief period, it didn't have many good features but it's wap browser cache management was excellent. When you clicked back the page was instantly displayed without re-downloading.
Any ideas for an alternative one? I suppose it's in Nokia's interest to provide the networks with as much opportunity for GPRS revenue as possible 😞
Opera is the best browser. Download here: http://tinyurl.com/7bz6m
The built in browser aint bad however. Its a large improvement and handles most webpages fine. Opera has the edge however.
Opera is a web/HTML browser. It doesn't do WAP at all.
Unfortunately I need a WAP browser with good cache management as GPRS charges are a complete rip off. I have no Idea who they think can afford to browse the full internet on 3G with current tariffs 😮

I can. 50MB free a month 50p after 50MB. 😊
Wasnt wap that crap old tech that was just text and the networks actually charged a fortun for it.
Good for you, but 50p a megabyte is still far too expensive to browse HTML.
About 20 webpages for a �1 🙄
Wap sites are the streamlined ones (apart from the no doubt deliberately bloated Orange World one) with text and images, they load nice and quickly and are formatted properly for mobile phones.
GSM WAP was the old dialup protocol that was charged by the minute.
I�m just saying mobile operators can�t expect you to browse the full internet with their existing price structures.
u think that's a rip off
in croatia..
100kb is 0.8 �

Tariffs make all the difference. Orange are doing a 1 gigabyte for 3 months promotion right now. Thats practically worry free.
My 50MB free tariff easily covers my needs and i surf and email regularly but i dont download movies or music. i transfer divx and mp3 from my pc. 😃
Opera reformats normal websites to make them mobile phone freindly. Its better than using many mobile phone websites. Take BBC for example. Low grpahics version is much better than the mobile version.

I've got the 1Gig orange deal for 3 months and that's what's scarring me 😊
I little light browsing since I got the phone on Friday and I've already munched through 10mb.
I can't wait till the customer service guy rings me at the end of the trial to recomend which Orange world plan I should be on.
CS: Judging by your usage Sir, we recommend the �88 Orange World Access Max pack
me: I'll get back to you when I've finished selling my organs on Ebay.
Oh well, might as well enjoy it while I can 😃
