I've set up my P800 with Voda Live! settings (i.e. for Internet over GPRS, WAP over this internet account, and a bookmark over this WAP account pointing to the Voda Live! server URL). I can get the starting page up fine, but it doesn't have any of the images next to the links (the "download images" option is switched *on* in the browser preferences), and in general behaves just like a normal plain WAP page. I *thought* I understood how this whole thing works, but I can't figure out if this is a limitation in the P800 inbuilt browser (maybe I'll try it with Opera?), or a problem with the settings I've used (I copied them as best I could from a 7650 which works fine on Voda Live! with the same SIM in it), or the handset not being recognised by Vodafone's network, or... Has anyone else tried this and/or have any ideas?

I've never looked at Vodafone Live myself but I'm guessing maybe images are optimised based on the user agent http header. If your p800 is not supported, you may get no images. But I would've thought they'd have sorted it for the p800 by now...
Two more things I've discovered;
- in the S-E documentation it suggests that you can set MMS into "Strict Compliant" mode and it will automatically reformat your MMS messages (e.g. scaling down photos) to meet the 30K message size limit imposed by interoperability standards. I can't find an option to do this in any of the menus, I had to resize the images myself in the image editor. Maybe the next firmware release will fix this?
- even when I did this, when I try and send the MMS I get "Unable to process request" (*after* all the data has been sent over GPRS) so I assume again that either something is wrong with my settings, or the Voda network is not seeing my subscription as active for MMS.
Again, any similar experiences or hints?
I have exactly the same situation with tomcooke using Vodafone Live! at Greece.
I got the same with mms but also on a fully working gprs.
I can't use the mms server name for the non-wap apn either.. have to have two profiles but again it stops after the image.
Big pain in the arse..
One small success - I got my Vodafone service provider to enable MMS on my subscription and have successfully sent a picture message to my wife's phone (viewed by Web as she only has a 3330, her birthday present will be a 3650 😃 )
Andy_P, can you explain why using the non-WAP APN might make a difference, you lost me there?
T.
simply as i have no use for a wap apn so i wanted to use the mms server on my full internet apn... it doesn't work.
