are you using o2's email service because that is the only one that will work through these GPRS settings but it will charge. sorry i dont have any way round this. maybe somebody else does...

Wow - thanks for the info everyone. This is pretty amazing for me. I was about to switch to an orange contract but I reckon I might just stay on o2 for the free GPRS! At least for the duration of the summer whn I'll be on the road a lot.
Here are my settings for S700i:
Data Accounts:
-Accnt name: O2 Free GPRS
-Conn. type: GPRS
-user name: payandgo
-password: password
-APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
-Allow calls: auto
-IP addr.: (blank)
-DNS addr.: (blank)
-Authentication: normal
-Data compression: on
-Header compression: off
Internet profiles:
-Name: O2 Free GPRS
-Connect using: O2 Free GPRS
-Internet mode: HTTP
-Use Proxy: Yes
-IP addr.: 193.113.200.195
-Port no.: 8080
-user name: (blank)
-password: (blank)
note some of these settings are probably irrelevant (e.g. compression) but I have included them for completeness.
I come form an open source programming background so I find it strange when people say that something is not possible. Sure it's possible. You just need somebody to write the software for it! I think the fact that mobile technology moves so fast is actually harmful to us as users. It means people are not willing to put time and effort into developing solutions to the problems of a platform which will probably be obsolete in a few months.
Anyway I'm gonna try to sort out some kind of proxy tunneling thing for checking emails and eating cookies. Does anyone know of any open source email/browser midlets I could use as a starting point?
--Note on edit: forgot to specify port 8080!--

let us know if you figure out the cookies and stuff, it would be much apprieciated by many users here.

Cookie oddities
When i log in to esato forums on my mobile I stay logged in from page to page - I was even able to edit my profile - until i try to post a reply at which point it logs me out.
This raises the question: Does esato forum use any means of authentication other than cookies? I tried turning cookies off in my browser but am then unable to stay logged in. If the answer is 'no' then this indicates that at least *some* cookies are getting through.
I made a quick script that spits out all the request headers sent to it and tries to set a session cookie called 'testcookie' with the value 'ok'. If the cookie works then the second time (and subsequent times) that the page is viewed you should see something like Cookie: testcookie=ok towards the end of the headers. When I view the page on my S700i I get no cookie info at all meaning either the proxy has stripped it out or the browser hasn't stored it. Cookies are turned on in the browser preferences so it must be the proxy.
Note: I have also posted a version of this question in the Esato forum forum.
Also note: Y! Mail works fine without cookies as it propagates the session id in the url. It's also pretty easy to navigate and lets you check external pop3 mail. And no I don't work for Yahoo  |

Cool! Thanks, thats been quite enlightening... Is there any way to build a "tunnel" through which cookies can be sent?

In theory yes but I think you need something at eash end to package up the data and send it though the tunnel. At the far end that could be something running on, say, my server but at the near end it would have to be a modified midlet which is why i asked about open source browsers/email clients.
I'm currently trying to get bluetooth DUN working so I can do some more tests. |

free internet rocks! hope you can somehow work out the cookie issues - that would be great because i cant access my emails from home as i haven't got a landline! (cos i'm student scum!)
the transfer speeds i'm getting through my computer and my p900 are compairable to my old 56kb dialup - which is fantastic! |
