I am interesed in using (and very close to ordering) a P800 for on-line banking and the occasional surf on the internet, but I do not want to be limited to pages that only work with Pocket Internet Explorer or older versions of Internet explorer (Version 4 and older).
So does the P800 with opera allow you browser the web as you normally would with IE ???
If not what are the limitations of the P800 and Opera when using the web?

I can't access my online bank account www.smile.co.uk using Opera but I have only ever been able to connect using a proper PC browser. Website uses a secure programme it installs onto PC and never worked with any portable PDA device. Also had a few problems logging onto my ebay account.

@jayv...so you're using the internet.globe.com.ph gateway??!?!
I can't use Opera over the http://www.globe.com.ph gateway... only the internet one.
post-paid... if you use the internet gateway you're charged P0.50/KB BOTH WAYS... not just received data, but total data.
Opera also seems to have problems logging into Hotmail...this might be because M$ and Opera are fighting.

I have been following this thread and just wanted to thank you for posting the globe settings. I followed them and it worked right away. Have quick question, how do you use the globe.com.ph wap access. Is there really no way to use that instead of the globe internet connection which is so costly. thanks

can we tell opera how to connect? my opera seems to load web pages very fast (ie via gprs) even thought i havnt subscribed (or requested a GPRS account... with orange i am well aware that this cud b 2 different things!). i also dont have a GPRS account set up on the fone but opera clearly doesnt dial my openworld dialup!?
strange
Just thought someone mite shed some light on it. i dont really understand GPRS too well tho so the answer is probably obvious.
cheers
