Alternate internet browsers ?
 

Are there any apps available that could simulate a mobile phone browser or something like the Opera Turbo? My 2.5G connection is not letting me access google account - not even the log in page !

Macuco doesn't seem to be ready for Fremantle yet..

For accesing gmail, I recommend the simplified hmtl page, instead the standard one.

You can access it using this link:

http://mail.google.com/mail/h/

hope it helps!

@isolano That link didn't work as well.. the request timed out just like all the other google account links that i'd got.

@fred123 I'll try that out, but it'll probably be a month cuz i have term exams coming up the day after..

If you can't access Google mail, there is something seriously wrong. Did you just get your N900? I think that almost 100% of N900 users use Google Mail or at least have an account.

Guess what, i couldn't control myself and so went ahead and enabled extrastesting and got hold of midori. and this is what happened:

first i tried loading google.com on midori but it gave "couldn't be loaded" and "cannot connect to destination".
than i tried google with firefox and it said "proxy server is refusing connection". I did a reboot and tried again.
Again midori failed and firefox failed. i tried microb, it worked.
I tried again and this time midori still failed, but firefox was well and working.


I got gmail and the works when i use wifi. It's with 2G that the problem crops up. I think the prob is that the desktop class browser doesn't have the patience to wait for 'lesser' network connections. Proud browser? =)


Anybody have any tips for me with Midori ..?

Bump! Help me with Midori. I get a similar problem with IceW as well..

WHy not just use Nokias built in email system and set up a Gmail account?

It is possible to get Opera Mini to run.. takes a little bit of work to get it installed but it is effective.

i'd also suggest searching the forum for information on creating desktop shortcuts to make it easier to launch :)

Have you used gmail from webpage? Default email program is ok for checking that there is new message and replying to it, but universal message center and overall message handling (search, folders,tasks,todo,tags etc.) is joke with default email client(modest).

So i tried hide user agent and gave microB a Opera Mini 4 useragent. All pages load according to operas standard now and browsing in portrait mode is a breeze. But gmail and google sign up pages - well they still remain elusive. I've tried modest but even that times out.

Google accounts cannot be accessed from my n900 unless i use wifi.

How come? I cant even understand where the problem lies.. google, device or network.

I've removed Midori. As for IceWeasel, the LXDE environment connectivity panel shows that gprs0 has been connected. but when i try to access google it merely keeps on requesting, i can see the sent bytes but none are recieved.
