panasonic x800 gprs settings

Does anyone know how to set uo the gprs and mms settings for the UK O2 network on the panasonic x800, O2 were not much help, phone not on their portfolio yet ???

Has anyone been successful getting a Panasonic X800 (or X700) to connect to Cingular GPRS in the US? I have spent a lot of time on the phone with customer support (they were surprisingly helpful, by the way) and they weren't able to figure it out.

I also downloaded the config for the Nokia 6600 from Nokia's support site, which should work since the 6600 uses the same version of Symbian/Series60 but sadly that didn't work either.

I read one successful account from an X800 user who was able to use T-Mobile's T-Zones after downloading the Nokia 6600 settings, but none for Cingular. Perhaps I should have chosen T-Mobile?

The T-MobileInternet Nokia 6600 settings work great for me (X800 in northeast Ohio); don't have T-Zones. I use access point internet3.voicestream.com as I am signed up for "TMobileInternet VPN" (I think internet2.voicestream.com is the access point for straight "TMobileInternet"😉. I chose T-Mobile since GPRS access is unmetered (no worrying about kilobytes downloaded, etc.) and unlimited. Is Cingular's GPRS unmetered and unlimited?

I borrowed a friend's T-Mobile SIM card and had no problem making a GPRS connection on T-Mobile with my X800, so it seems to be some problem with Cingular.

Cingular does have an unlimited-use GPRS plan, but it's an extra $20/month. I'm currently on the pay-per-use plan, which is good since I've used zero so far.
