I'm still getting used to my new toy, a Nokia 6600. There are some minor annoyances (I have to search for everything time and again, and I can't create shortcuts. And when I select "Update time automatically", it is off by 1 hour), but the biggest problem is that I can't get my GPRS to work.

I've tried to get the settings for my operator (Proximus) from the Nokia website, but to no avail. I am able to start Opera, but once I type in a URL (eg. http://users.pandora.be/tom.klaasen), it comes back with the very helpful error message http://users.pandora.be/tom.klaasen - Warning!. That's it. No "couldn't connect". No "I can't get along with that damn DHTML". No. Just "warning". And then in the upper left corner, a little G in a box starts flashing. Which I can only stop by restarting the phone.

I've begun reading the manual (150 pages!), but it boils down to a disruption where the phone manufacturer's settings stop, and where the service provider's settings start. The language used is not exactly the same, and it seems that there is some holes in it. Pretty much reminds me of my first time when I was trying to get a JDBC connection working: Sun ended with "here comes your connection string", and Oracle started with "this is your schema, and your url, and your username, etc" without explaining how to get from that to a connection string.

But enough raving. Did anybody get Opera working on a Nokia 6600 with Proximus? Or do you know some particalur twitches with either of them? I would be much obliged.
