Opera Mini to the rescue! (Vodaphone/Gmail)

    After much shenanigans trying to get gmail and WAP on my Three phone, I returned my K610i to the shop today and got a refund.

    I then bought a V630i from Vodaphone (same phone, different packaging) - I got access to the WAP site I needed straight away. But I was still having probs with Gmail - I tried configuring the phones email client, using the gmail WAP site m.gmail.com and even browsing directly to www.gmail.com, none of the methods worked. And I tried all the settings in this thread, had settings sent to me by sony ericsson, and went through the Vodafone website instructions, to no avail.

    As a last resort I pointed the browser at mini.opera.com and installed the Opera mini browser.... And I was reading my Gmail within 5 minutes! - I got to it on WAP, and also directly to the Gmail HTML site. Opera even detected and configured the network settings automatically for me.

    Weird really, the apps that come with the phone won't access gmail but a third party app that I install has no problems.

    To be precise, three's SE 610 and Vodafone's 630 is not the same phone. They have some differences, eg the resolution on the camera, and some other design issues.

    They both have a 2Mp camera;

    V630
    2 MP, 1600x1200 pixels, video; secondary VGA video call camera

    K610
    2 MP, 1600x1200 pixels, video; secondary video call VGA camera

    Comparison table

    The only difference I can see are minor things like the polyphony (64 channels on the V630 versus 72 channels on the K610) Also, Three supply the K610 with a 64Mb memory card, Vodaphone supply it with a 256Mb memory card. I've used both phones now and can't find any differences, apart from cosmetic ones. I've got photos and videos from each phone and they appear identical.

    The most important difference for me is that Three restricted internet access, and Vodafone didn't. I can live with losing 8 channels on the polyphonic ringtones... :D

    I'd recommend using gmail.com/app

    Works very well for me.

    I've tried that a few times, but it gives me an error with 'your phone does not have an appropriate certificate'

    Are you on Vodaphone? - Maybe I need to ask customer care to switch something on for me.
