Hi all, just bought myself a UX50 and have been enjoying myself for the last few days getting all set up. Been reading threads on here and have taken advice and set up Mundu for Instant Messaging and have successfully got myself set up using my WEP network at home. My first two issues have arisen though.
First off I have attempted to link my UX50 up with my Sony Ericcson k800i in order to use my GPRS allowance to browse the internet away from my available wifi link. The set up seems to gear everything towards using my mobile as a 56K dial-up modem and is asking for a number to dial, which will be very costly. Can anyone clarify the situation for me as I was under the impression I would be able to use my GPRS function to browse.
Secondly, one of the reasons I decided to invest was the idea of being able to manage many of my online activities while on the move. I currently do this using my VAIO but there are occasions where I won't have this with me. I attempted to access ebay last night and encountered an error whereby the page is too large to load, rendering it unusable. My version of Netfront is 3.0 - will upgrading to 3.1 solve this? If so how do I do this? I haven't installed any of the PC stuff yet as I plan to wipe my VAIO clean during the next few days (I made the mistake of installing the proprietry BT Broadband software, which is horrible and won't uninstall cleanly). I tried increasing the size of the cache but it would appear that that's only for downloaded content and not like RAM.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
