Anbody understand Windows Mobile Connections?

    I've been struggling with the User interface in Windows Mobile 6.1 (on an Omnia) with regard to Internet connectivity, MMS etc.

    I'm not looking for specific connection settings etc. (I see stickies with these details), but wondering if anybody can enlighten me on Windows Mobile user interface for connectivity.

    eg.
    (1) what is the relationship between "networks", "connections", "modems".


    When I got to Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections icon/"Tasks" Tab...
    I see "My Internet" listed, with a few hyperlinks ("Add a modem connection"... Add a new VPN server connection... set up my proxy server "Manage existing connections").
    (2) What is this "My Internet" ? I suppose it is a "Network", since when I go to the "Advanced" tab/Select networks (goes into "Network Management" screen)- the Drop down list of "Networks" shows "My Internet" as one of the options.
    (3) If "My Internet" is a "Network", how come the other networks in the drop down list on the Network management" screen (ie. "Internet GPRS", "MMS" etc. also currently listed on my phone) dont also appear on the screen beside "My Internet" when I go to Start/Settings/Connections Tab/Connections icon/"Tasks".

    I could go on asking questions, here I think if I understand the underlying model I can figure it out - I suspect that the winMobile user interface is just crap.

    Can anyone put me out of my misery and enlighten me or point me in the direction of a good user guide somewhere. Or is there any third-party software that presents the network settings in a logical way?
