    I have no problems connecting the phone to the computer and use the HSDPA signal from the phone on 3pay, but when I change sim to my Meteor it doesnt work anymore. It just says error in PPP. I havent seen anywhere in the phone modem settings where I could put the APN. Where do I actually put this? How does the phone modem know which APN to use? I suppose the *99# is the one to use for both 3pay and Meteor?

    When you have the Nokia PC Suite connected you can add in the APN manually without having to pop it in on your phone at all.

    Your will need Meteor to activate the ISP (or DATA) APN on your account first though.

    Should work for GPRS and Edge though.

    If you do not want to use the Nokia One Touch Access app, you need to add/change the access point in the modem intialisation string field in modem settings in the control panel.
    +CGDCONT =1,"IP","isp.mymeteor.ie"

    Tom, the free unlimited data on the trial would go splendid with that iPhone of yours ;)
