Having tried to connect various PDA's to the internet via bluetooth over the years, I was delighted to hear that this was a simple process on the N800. Until I tried it.

I followed my instincts first time and selected the country and provider from the menus, to find that it would not work. Second time I followed advice from the internet (same as my instincts) still using the provided configuration and still did not work. Each time getting a could not connect to the internet message!

I had tried using the cable from PC and the nokia suite to connect to the internet, so I knew that the phone was configured correctly and the account properly set up.

Two hours later and checking the connection data for the 5th time I happened to click into the Access point name field. I noticed that there was a space at the end. Removal of which cured the problem, now all is working for a an additional space.

I hope this post can save someine some time in the future.

Thanks Steve, I've recently purchased a n810, and was considering a 3 network phone. What are the speeds like for web browsing

Hi Stevie

I am limited by distance from the telephone exchange to 1MB on my landline broadband, it is obviously slower than that, but still usable.

I tend to use the Google pages quite a bit, which are pretty big. But even then it's useable.

I find it pretty fast. I also have the three broadband modem which I use on the macbook pro and the eee, and I would say that when web browsing on the N810, the 810 web browser is the restriction rather than the modem speed.

I knew about the space thing, as I found a link about it when I was having trouble connecting (it wasn't my problem but I was looking everywhere!)

struggling with W880i & W890i on '3'. Spotted the space and deleted it .. no further forward with getting a connection.

I have just upgraded to Diablo .. anyone upgraded and still connection works ok ??

Working with N95 on 3. Followed instruction from tabletat. Deleted three.co.uk then reinserted it. Al works

Follow the instructions for "O2 (UK) Mobile Web GPRS & Sony W850" on the following wiki.

but enter the APN as three.co.uk and leave Username and Password blank.

I have upgraded to Diablo and it still works fine.

Good luck.

I recently discovered 3 are port blocking. I could not connect to my Hava or Orb over there connection. After a little searching on the net I discovered this is a common problem. Thankfully there is a solution, if you change the APN from three.co.uk to 3internet you can access both and there should be no ports blocked. I tried this with my PAYG sim which I had a £10 Broadband add on package and could not get it to work with the new APN. From what I have read it wil work with the sim that comes with the USB dongle for PAYG. I have now gone for a contract £10 a month and had no problem changing the APN.
