On the advise of Ken Kroeker, I splashed out on a Sony Ericsson K510i at £79.95 from the Phones 4u store in Hanley (in the big shopping centre there). After calling Customer Services to enable the GPRS, I was down 25p, and was told it would come on automatically within 24 hours anyway (by default). I was going to wait until the next day to try it, but accidently pressed the Orange World icon, and it connected. Later I presumed it was via GSM, but after changing the settings to use GPRS it still worked so I set it up on the computer. I used the supplied Sony software to setup the connection, but it created a new Data connection profile, without the right settings. To select the new profile it put 4# on the end of the number, but I changed it to 3#, and it worked like a dream. I'm currently using the supplied USB lead for data, but I notice the phone also comes with IR, and Bluetooth. Thanks for everyone help. Mike nb.
