Hi all..
I have been browing aruond in this forum trying to find the configuration that I really "understand" and setup my new 3G PDA phone with Windows Mobile 5.0

I am a newbie to 3G/GPRS/Internet and been asking lots of friends and even vodafone stoer staff and they keep giving me mixed info... (vodafone staff points me back to their web site) . I looked at a few Vodafone NZ supplied cellphones and I got more confused (as some of the phones with VFNZ gateway sometimes uses proxy and sometimes don't)
what I really want to do is to configure my 3G phone so via 3G (not GPRS I think, as ti is slower) to enable me to brower the internet at fast speed and also get my email.
So far I can only get my email from my work's Microsoft exchange using Direct Push through Vodafone (I am not so sure it is going through the GPRS or 3G.. as so far all thesettings I found on vodafone vlive spec and even the msg posted in this forum said it is GPRS) so I got confsued:
Apart from getting email, I can't browse any web site :-( (which is very strange.. I thought I can do both once I setup the mobile phone) So I would like to post a message and would like to see if anyone using Windows Mobile 5.0 and help me on this so I can get my email and browse the web using 3G (not GPRS, correct me if they are the same thing, or at least the same network)
So on my Winodws Mobile I have the following settings:
- On the toolbar, it has the 3G icon....
- Under Start | Settings | Connections
Within there, I have Vodafone GPRS Settings and I have :
VF NZ Internet -> Using Cellular Line(GPRS)-> Access Point Name: www.vodafone.net.nz -> Username, password domain are blank
Use Server-assigned IP address and not use software compression or IP header compression (or should I?)
Did I miss out somethign and configure my mobile entirely wrong? or do I have to get a Vodafone Mobile Data account for that?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Ken
