Ok, i got a Unlocked V800, then had it unbranded (The SE icons look SO much nicer), so i have all the internet setting slots open. i then got an orange 3G USIM. now i have a question
Are there special 3G settings somewhere or are they just the usual GPRS ones that can be found anywhere (APN orangeinternet etc) and the phone just uses 3g to access them?
If it is just the usual ones (which i got SE to send me from their website ) then why doesnt it work 
the browser wont go to webpages, i cant connect via my handheld using *99#, BUT i put my e-mail ccount setting into the phone and THAT connects ok and checks my e-mail no problems.
any help is much appreciated
if there are special settings then what are these settings?
thanks! |

I think possibly Orange need to 'support' the model on their network as well for it to work.

I can only speak for Vodafone, but I assume the other networks (including O2 who have learnt their lesson) also do the same by testing each phone on their network. This involves firmware updates (especially where GPRS and 3G data is concerned) on the phone to make them work with Siemens/Nokia/Ericsson base stations and also the backend servers (Sun/Linux etc.) that support the data backbone.
Simple GSM phones were 'mostly' compatible, these new phones with their added functionality require considerable tweeking. You have to select the network you want to use rather than phone nowadays, just like it is in Japan - that phone you have would be called the Vodafone V800 by Sony Ericsson, not the Sony Ericsson V800. Unbranding is no longer without consequences.
If you want to use Orange, best see what phones they support. And if they did support your phone model, wouldn't it be ironic if they required you to update your firmware to Orange's branding to work!
