Rick,

I have an O2 locked xda. Tried it with TIM and Omnitel in

Italy. My xda recognised a GPRS network (with one of the two

operators, can't remember which) but could not connect via GPRS,

had to resort to GSM.

Mitnick,

You can buy an xda from O2 Germany which I think (you will need

to check) is not SIM locked. Visit

Mitnick,

please ask your question here, I'm sure others will be

interested.

Hungry,

my O2 is unlocked, but nonetheless it wouldn't work.

Your situation is different because you are roaming when

you're here.

Ciao,

Rick

Of course no, a locked XDA is, as the name implies,

locked to the O2 network.

It has been a very very bad surprise for to discover that

Fujitzu-Siemens will not commercialize the phone module for my

Loox....so I'm going to look for something else...

What do you think about the XDA O2 in Italy?

Is it a good phone and a good PDA?

Or is better to wait for the new Samsung or Hitachi?

Subject: mda and converted xda in italy

From: martin

Date: 16 Jan, 2003 12:05:18

hi!

we use mdas, which do work with gprs in italy.

we also purchased an unlocked xda for use in austria. which at

first did not work with the

biggest provider here (A1 Mobilkom). they found some network

settings they could tweak

and the xda now works with their gprs.

the xda (gprs) always worked with ONE (no changes required)

before A1 found which settings to adapt, we gave our xda to

t-mobile and they somehow

flashed the phone-rom so it would work in the t-mobile gprs net

(thus also in italy).

so it boils down to the following:

** either the provider allows the xda access to its gprs network

up front (like ONE in austria)

** or the provider is willing to change settings (like A1

Mobilkom)

** or you flash your xda to make it and mda and use a t-mobile

network (11 countries at present)

cheerio,

martin

... but you need ROM 3.14!

I upgraded from 3.02 et voila' - new utilities to set

GPRS authentication (PAP vs CHAP), and now it works

just fine!

BTW italian provider TIM requires PAP...

Hi

I'm using a new unlocked xda on WIND in Rome. Phone works fine

but can't get the gprs to work.

The settings seem to keep adjusting the baud rate down to 19200

automatically.

I've added the code string provided by WIND customer support but

to no avail.

ie

+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet.wind"

All other settings I've adapted from their online manual linking

an iPaq 3870 to gprs with an T68i.

Support with WIND are unfamiliar with the xda device.

The failure message reads "Unable to connect for an unknown

reason" etc

I'd be glad of any help if anyone's cracked it!

Cheers
