In order to connect to the work wireless network, I need to install Thawte certificates on my phone.

However this doesn't seem as straight forward as one would think. A few hours of trolling through forums seems to leave very bitsy instructions that aren't clear.

Has anyone managed to get this to work properly and can enlighten me on the best way to go about this? Or have a link to good instructions which actually work?

I'm using Samsung Galaxy 850 with Android 2.1

Install it by uploading the .pem file to RealmB's Android Certificate Installer

You can get the certificate you need from here

I guess i'll find out if I'm successful tomorrow or not.

This looks like a self help topic

Not sure if this is what your after or not

Settings>Wireless and Network>Wifi Settings>Menu Button>Advanced
You can set wireless proxy settings here

I'm not a complete idiot, I still have some parts missing.

crikey, you're right. I didn't see that. Thanks

If I work out something myself, I feel it's good to post out what you've found. The number of times I have been to forums and there is no answer to a problem.

Cyanogen Mod will install certs without an installer. Unsure about other roms though... Should be though. Android 2.2:

settings / location and security settings / install from sd card
