rc you can go to any site that is http. All third party applications that require an internet connection won't work e.g. opera mini, aft, dorsh, the gmail app etc. I haven't been able to get all sites working (can get onto boards but can't login) but this maybe a problem with my phone.

Thanks and what about the sites that are part of "my3" like yahoo mail, can i really visit them as much as I want for free, like for viewing emails. For outside the my3 thing would you recommend I get the 100mb add on?

For sites that are part of the my3 thing I'm pretty sure are free but I bought the bundle more or less straight after I got my phone but I could access them for the brief period before I got the bundle indicating that it is free.
As for outside of my3 you have to sign up for a bundle (it will redirect you to a page informing you of this and a link to get the bundle if you don't). Depending on your usage you may want to get a bundle with a larger allowance. I use the internet everyday for a few hours and still only use the 100MB bundle but youtube have a mobile site and this will be very bandwidth intensive.

No, this is definitely a problem with 3Pay mobile BB.

regarding secure/unsecure sites, its possible to make a request via the default http proxy port (80 or 8080 or 3128 or whatever) and request a secure page.
most people do this in a corprate/college enviornment all the time
the issue they have may be that you can't connect directly on port 443

this is just normal proxy behaviour

this pretty much describes how proxys work

Web proxy

Proxies that focus on WWW traffic are called web proxies. Many web proxies attempt to block offensive web content. Other web proxies reformat web pages for a specific purpose or audience (e.g., cell phones and PDAs or persons with disabilities). Network operators can also deploy proxies to intercept computer viruses and other hostile content served from remote web pages. (For example, Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server.)

Many organizations — including schools, corporations, and countries — use proxy servers to enforce acceptable network use policies (see content-control software) or to provide security, anti-malware and/or caching services. A traditional web proxy is not transparent to the client application, which must be configured to use the proxy (manually or with a configuration script). In some cases, where alternative means of connection to the Internet are available (e.g., a SOCKS server or NAT connection), the user may be able to avoid policy control by simply resetting the client configuration and bypassing the proxy. Furthermore administration of browser configuration can be a burden for network administrators.

Access control: Some proxy servers implement a logon requirement. In large organizations, authorized users must log on to gain access to the WWW. The organization can thus track usage to individuals.

I don't think the waits are that bad. I would certainly not call i fast but it is relatively tolerable. Although sometimes they are dreadful.

I suffer from the same problem. I thought it might be a problem with the SE k800 itself and not necessarily 3pay.
