I think its just Nokia and Bluetooth as a whole.

Just tried using a Nokia E63 with my car BMW 5 series 05 plate and whilst it paired it would not connect.

Its about time Nokia woke up to the world around them.

I'm not sure how relevant this is as it concerns vodafone rather than t-mobile, but here goes.

I have just upgraded from a 770 to a N800. When I first got the 770 I had trouble getting an internet connection through my SE W900i and in the end solved it by using the access settings from my laptop.

I have just run through the automatic configuration of the N800 and selected Vodafone internet GPRS as the service provider and although it would connect to the phone it would not connect to the internet. Sound familiar?

So I compared the packet data settings (Tools->Control Panel->Connectivity->Connections->Vodafone Mobile->Edit->Next) between the two and found a big difference.

770 - working internet access:
Access point name:
Dialup number:*99#
Username:
Password:

N800 - not working
Access point name: Internet
Dialup number:*99***1#
Username:web
Password:***

After changing the N800 to match the 700 settings it connected first time.

So it may be worth checking the settings T-mobile recommends for connecting a laptop to web-n-walk, and even seeing if you can get one to connect through the phone.

Hi,

thanks for the reply... giving hope. I have set the setting as you have above and am please to say it does connect now. The inevitable but... the browser can't get to any web sites.

based on the settings above I presume its the phone settings rather than the N800.

How do you have your phone configured?

Ok... complete success!!!!!!

the SE settings on the phone aren't correct so you setup a new data account under the phones data communications settings.

This account is for vodafone and has an access point of "internet" and a username and password of web/web.

View info on this account and it will have a unique id - 5 in my case because its the fifth account.

Then configure the N800 with no access point, no username and no password just the dial string of *99***5#.

The 5 in the dial string represents data account 5.

Now if only I could get that e63 working with my car....

Glad to hear of you success.

Based on your experience I had another look at my settings.

I can connect to:
Vodafone GPRS (ID=5) using *99**5# or
Contract WAP (ID=2) using *99**2#
Note that in both cases there are only two asterisks between the 99 and the ID.

I assume that using *99# uses the phones default which is defined as Contact WAP in Internet Settings.

ah ok.

many thanks for adding your post earlier... saved the day for me for sure.

Chris.

That worked for me as well - just count which number in the list the account you want to connect through and change the 1 to that number and it works fine! I'm much happier now. Shame Nokia don't know anything about their product!
