    I just downloaded the mail/internet settings from Nokia.ie onto my phone (Nokia 6230), and then installed Opera Mini.

    Does anyone know how I should be setting this up? Basically I want to have my phone set to automatically open opera when I want to connect to the net, and also, I want to know the best settings to use for the connection. I've heard scary stories about people connecting via WAP or whatever and being charged high prices per KB. At that rate a homepage would cost about €10 just to bring up on screen. Is there a cost effective way to browse the internet on a phone or was I wasting my time downloading Opera?

    Cheers :)

    Just checked my bill today online. I only set-up the bloody thing and it cost me €2. All I did was get google.ie loaded. What a rip-off!!

    Is there any other (cheaper) way to get the web on your mobile?

    Hi,

    First off, you cannot set a "default browser". Opera Mini is just a Java applet, like any other, so when you want to use it you have to go to Application menu and start it from there.

    Second. Data on any phone network is very expensive. It always has been and that's not going to change anytime soon by the looks of it. Sad, I know. :(

    If you really want mobile browsing but not the bill then you might have to wait for...

    I used opera to check my flickr page and it (surprisingly) only cost 19c (VF RTG). Though it has cost more on other occasions.

    Ah, I see. I thought there may have been a way to configure the right selection key ('hot key') to bring up the browser. You can ge it to bring up the calculator and a few others but that's it.
