Here is some settings for the T-mobile Internet and WAP connections that should work for you.

MMS
I'm not sure about MMS on the 8380 but you could try something like this. You will have to check what options are available for profile and data connection. I would be interested to know if you actually get MMS working ?

Create GPRS connection.

This is what I got from T mobile but I havent tried it yet

t-zones Settings

T-Mobile Wireless currently supports GPRS/WAP enabled handsets. These phones are pre-configured to access T-Mobile's t-zones Settings service.

If you have a GSM GPRS/WAP enabled handset or device that you did not purchase from T-Mobile, and you wish to use the t-zones Settings service, use the configurations below. Keep in mind that T-Mobile Customer Care will not support any phones or devices other than the phones available on www.t-mobile.com.

You must be registered for a MyT-Mobile.com online account, and be a valid T-Mobile Wireless customer. The t-zones Settings is available only for current T-Mobile phone numbers.

For additional assistance, please contact our Data Specialists at 1-800-937-8997 .

If you cant access standard HTML websites then you may not have the internet access point (internet2.voicestream.com) activated on your account. Give the T-mobile customer services a call and make sure that all the GPRS services for WAP, Internet and MMS are activated.

The Internet Connection is accessed by using by using HTTP(address) . ie http://www.google.com, http://www.google.com/wml.

You probably already have the WAP APN activated (wap.voicestream.com) and this should be attached to the WAP connection. On the SPV models the WAP connection is accessed by using WSP://(WAP address) i.e wsp://www.google.com/wml. The MIO 8380 may be different for WAP as it uses JBrowser software which I have never tried.

You may also have problems accessing the T-mobile WAP homesite because smartphones will be identified as web browsers (access denied). The SPV can successfully access http://wap.myvoicestream.com by using a program called WebWapSelect. I don't know if this program also works with the MIO or not.
