Ahh, ok -- it looks like these are the settings you should use:

Apn: goam.com
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
Proxy IP: 10.128.1.69
Port: 80

And yes, APN = Access Point Name. The proxy settings should be available under the Advanced section of the Internet Settings for that connection..

Give that a try and let me know if it works..

I checked into that before. When you activate the phone the automated service assigns you one of their numbers. After that you call customer service & they arrange your number transfer. I won't be going through that for a while, my current contract has a ways to go. I'm just forwarding my calls to my SpeakOut # for now. A waste I know, but my phone is my N900 now .
Hmmm interesting.. I'm curious to try SpeakOut myself just for data, but I'm not terribly keen to give up my current plan which is no-contract and grandfathered (so effectively not available anywhere else). Forwarding isn't a bad idea though..


Not sure if you've found this unofficial site, but it could be helpful:
