I'm on Orange in the UK. Some pages on the Orange website say use orangeinternet, some say use orangewap.

What's the difference between the APNs?

Mobile companies issue different APNs for different services. Orangewap, as the naMe suggests looks tome like a "restricted "WAP only" APN..using this, you might be restricted to a few mobile sites only.. also, there might be restrictions on connecting your phone and using it as a modem.
Orangeinternet seems to be a "normal" full access APN that is capable of providing the full internet experience on the phone -- and to a pc in case you connect your phone to a PC and access the internet using edge/3G.
This is what it seems to be at least from the name of the APNs..
