BEags,

You could try http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,,71993,00.html and send the GPRS, WAP etc settings to your phone.

I know some mobiles don't come with settings installed. A friend needed Samsung to send him his MMS settings before he could send and receive pictures.

They come in a text message, are free, and eay to install.

Might be worth a try if you're bothered at all.

Joe.

Danny,

I've read PPRuNe a few times in the last couple of months from my Nokia 6630. Not knowing much about these things...

I think the phone or service provider decodes normal web pages into a format that can be read on these 3G handsets.

Now you've added the WAP thingy it looks slightly different but you still have to scroll quite a bit.

Wrong MIME type?

I know the site works on my phones as they use Opera (Nokia 9500 and P900)/ IE Mobile (XDAii) so I tried a few online WAP emulators. Two of them came back with variants of wrong MIME type messages, e.g. http://www.wapsilon.com/ says:
Wrong mime-type, I got text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1, but I want text/vnd.wap.wml.
This error occurs when you request a page that is not a WAP page, or when the webserver isn't set up correctly for hosting WAP sites"

Works a treat Danny (et. al.)!

Logged in first time on my Nokia 6260, just type in the URL (Mayhem ensued trying to access the "Photos of everyone" sticky in JB, though)...

Works well here in London on Vodafone 3G using a Sony Ericsson w900i.

Flyertalk are doing it as well. However, theirs seems to strip out a lot more of the "artifacts" and gives you much more of the posting content.
