As long as you've entered the network password and connected successfully, it should browse ok.

Well Vodafone unintentionally (I hope) blocked WiFi on the C905 from working when they put their own firmware on it. I seem to remember somebody having problems with the Orange C905 too. I'll see if I can find it.

it says the page you are trying to access is only available via your orange phone when connected via the orange gprs network. if you are a blackberry user trying to access via the blackberry internet service browser please change your default browser to orange world through which this portal is available |

The WiFi works great if you're close to the signal source, the c905 does not have a great WiFi antenna, so if you're behind a couple of doors it may have trouble picking it up. |

Really! I'm stunned that Vodafone would dare to take their arrogance that far. The iPhone has no such issue, it leaves 3G as soon as it finds a wifi signal it knows.  really need to renegotiate that contract - a C905 without wifi is pointless IMO and would rule it out if I were considering purchasing it.
It seems net neutrality issues are raising the ugly heads more and more as the financial squeeze goes on...

Well it depends who is more arrogant haha.... Apple seem to be the undisputed company that insist on what they want. Remember the first iTUNE capable phone...Motorola need to bow down.
Remember all other funny thing that Apple put into their iPHONE like sim lock or unremovalable battery etc...yet it got the brand power and appeal which even Vodafone need to bow down.
I am not surprise SE don't have the negotiation power because what it can offer is very similar to others like nokia/ samsung in the eyes of Vodafone. |

Hi All - i'm new to Esato.
I've just got the Sony Ericsson C905 today, but seem to be having some issues with the WiFi - whenever I go to access the internet, it doesn't connect using WiFi and uses Orange GPRS settings.
I've had a look through this topic but am not completly sure if it's something i'm missing - or something i have to switch off....
Hope someone can help me... |
