When I use GPRS, all calls are diverted.
The caller gets a voice saying that the phone is turned off or out of reach..
There is allso an icon appearing in my display, confirming this..
But why? My T68i has no problems making/receiving calls while connected with GPRS..

Any ideas?

I allso have big problems finding my T68i over BLuetooth..

Solution: Control panel-Connections-Internet accounts-Other-Preferred mode-Automatic. - You probably have the Preffered mode set to GPRS only, that's why you can't recieve calls.

The firmware is still being worked on with many networks. Scandanavia and some Asian/Middle Eastern countries that have had the P800 early have either accepted that some services (that the country's netowrk operator may not use) will not be supported, or they have worked with Sony Ericsson to iron out problems on their particular networks so that the P800 will offer some minimal level of service.

There may be further problems with more complex services (usually involving GPRS and APNs and Gateways and the browser) that need further fixing, to be done in later firmware upgrades. Other countries have held back, especially Vodafone in the U.K. (to ensure the P800 works on Vodafone Live!) so that they do not need to do a lengthy and expensive recall for firmware upgrades later.

You may find that your P800 may just need a newer firmware.

No problems with the P800 and network compatability in Norway..
He just needed to change the settings I mentioned above, which solved the problem.
