Hi all,
This is my first post to this forum. I am currently living outside of Canada, and have a Nokia E71 phone that I would like to use with a Canadian SIM card when I come home next month.
I don't expect this to be a problem with voice calls, but I would like to find out whether the SO Web browsing feature would work with this phone. I am planning on buying a basic SO dumbphone, then calling customer service and having Web browsing added after i put the SIM in my smartphone.
I emails SO customer service about this and they replied: "I would say no as other customers who have tried to do this have been unable to identify the correct data settings for their smartphones."
Anyone out there know what these settings would be that would be so problematic (or is this just cya at customer service)? anyone with any problems making an SO SIM work with Web browsing on a non-SO smartphone? E71 users out there?

I just purchased an unlocked E71 and will be getting it next week. I'll try a friends SO SIM with data and let you know but I imagine it will be the same experience as on his E61i. Browsing works but not sure if well enough for what you want to do. For $7/mth for the first three months you should just try it out anyway, plus you'll at least get email capability.

You have to go through a proxy to get web browsing to work on a speak out phone. Here are the settings I used on another phone, and a USB card I own. I have no clue on how you can apply them on the Nokia. Let me know, I am in the process of getting my own E71 unlocked 🙂
APN: goam.com
User name: wapuser1
pass: wap
port: 80
Set the browser proxy to 10.128.1.69 at port 80.
I was able to get 25 kilobyte/sec speeds, the upper end of EDGE speed, so it is pretty respectable for what you pay for.

Thanks guys. will be keeping my finger crossed when i try this.
i mainly want the connection for a push email client program which i haven't tried yet, emoze, which supposedly doesn't use much bandwidth.
will let you all know how it goes.

I have low confidence emoze is going to work for you with speakout. it looks like it needs other ports, other than port 80.

i see. in that case, does anyone know of any symbian push email applications that work with SO wireless? (preferably 3rd-party apps, rather than Nokia email)

Thanks Bridonca, the settings worked out great with PC Suite and IE proxy. 160 kbps.

Access Point Name - goam.com
user name - wapuser1
prompt password - yes
password - wap
authentication - secure (the other choice was normal)
homepage- none
hitting options again, i chose advanced setting
Network type - IPv6
DNS address - automatic (other choices were well-known and user defined)
proxy server address - 10.128.1.169
proxy port number - 80
Network tupe - IPv4
Phone IP address - Automatic
DNS address - Automatic
Proxy server address - 10.128.1.169
proxy port number - 80
Can someone tell me what im doing wrong?

Hey,
These settings are different on my goam.com access point. Maybe it'll help.
Prompt password - No
Authentication - Normal
Network type - IPv4
BTW, I haven't used goam.com custom settings for a while and use the Rogers Media access point.

Maybe this will help someone: After some messing around, I realized that I was trying to access via internet, not via WAP. When I chose the GoRogers WAP settings, it worked right away. Make sure you go through the setting wizard in the settings menu so that the settings are installed to your new phone....
