Not sure if I'm missing a step or if it just won't work.
Well, I just got a regular phone (Nokia 3555b) with T-Mo USA, and rediscovered a problem in the N800's t-zones settings: The proxy IP was given as nnn:nnn:nnn:050 which doesn't work; changing it to nnn:nnn:nnn:50 straightened things out. I know sidekick data is a beast of it's own, but I know they use some proxy as well, so check for similar issues?

Edit: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.p...#T-Mobile_APNs has some info.
