GPRS Set up on o2 - Success at last!!!

[mixer25]

I have tried and tried to set up my ipaq 2210 with GPRS on 6310i, I managed dialup no problem, but GPRS is so hard and so many different settings on the net...

eventually I phoned o2 and spoke to a very helpful person who gave me the details... at last it works...
