How can I set up a second packet data account in my internet connections ? the default account is configured automaticially probably from the SIM data, but how can I add another account for a different APN ? The Wizzard only gives me WLAN's, but no trace of a packetdata account.

No, same sim, same provider. Just 2 different APN's. One is the general internet connection, the other features some web-access for controlling the subscription....
To be sure, I'm not talking WAP but I fear the absence of that feature (if so) could be a directly linked with missing APN choices.

I have concerns about this issue too. I use T-Mobile USA. On Symbian phones, the set-up wizard will typically give the incorrect APN for packet data. I am thus forced to go in and edit it manually. Additionally, I may wish to set up another pack data setting. Page 32 of the extended users' manual says that one can go into SETTINGS > INTERNET CONNECTIONS > CONNECTIONS and edit those settings always existing. It is crucial, I feel, to be able to add APNs on ones on.
