What url do you put in and are you using a cell phone. I have internet on my Verizon cell.

I'm assuming that the Siemens phone you have connects via GPRS. It has been my experience that GPRS is great for emailing and supporting things like blackberry, sidekick, and trio's but I have had nothing but problems trying to use it as a direct internet connection for web browsing. The fastest speeds I have seen with GPRS have been about 15kbps.
When I worked for TMobile I was connected to the companies blackberry enterprise server wich allowed my blackberry to view web pages in a compressed version. Viewing graphics was awful but I was able to view and post to web forums okay with it. My blackberry is no longer connected to a BES so I can't do any web browsing with it whatsoever and would like to find a good reliable means of being able to hit the internet while mobile since it will save me about $60.00+ a month in directory assistance charges.
So for those of you who post while mobile what are you using? If Californias GPRS networks now provide good reliable access to the internet I may consider connecting my blackberry to a laptop when I'm on the go and need internet access.

I believe that phone is an Edge phone, a significant improvement over GPRS.

this thing connects via GPRS. So far it has worked all over California and Phoenix. Sometimes it`s faster than usual. It`s usually between a fast dial-up and a slow dsl

I use a Palm One treo 650 with Sprint and it's great. The phone is awesome, the servce is good (5 years so far and no problems w/Sprint). Highly recommended....

Yeah, I looked up Siemens products on the web. It is a GPRS connection. My Motorola connects via GPRS or edge, just need to get the cable.
