Thanks to RyoS for posting this in the UIQ forum. I have edited the thread to make it easier to read and thought this would be a good addition to the Cingular forum.

If the above still is too complexing for you, this may be a better solution.

This of course is dependent on SE's site being up and running and your phone being directly on Cingular's network and not on the Extend system like myself.

Otherwise, manually is the only way.

Hello all,
I have used these settings on my p900 and it worked fine. I'm going to be upgrading and was wondering if these will work for p910? I checked the link that LBo put up Sony has it down for the moment. Any help will be appreciated.
