W810i - fixed list of email ISP's !?!?!?!

Hi, A colleague of mine in the US has one of these devices, and we are
trying to configure remote IMAP email. He claims that it comes
preconfigured with popular ISP's BUT you cannot add any custom ones .
Is that really the case. I had a Plam device which was preconfigured
for a number of ISP's BUT also had the ability to add new ones. If
it's locked down to a few popular ones that's pretty scandalous IMHO

I'm experiencing this same incredible issue -- Cingular seems to have
disabled the email application and gone with a Java application they
wrote instead, which only gives you name-brand people for email.

You can't add your own mail servers with the Cingular w810i

Sure you can.

WAP mail services can be easily accessed with a standard WAP browser.

Webmail services can be easily access with free Opera Mini.

Downloadable email clients are available, including free Google Mail.
For others, check GetJar.com

While Cingular disabled the email client on the Cingular-branded V3xx,
it can be restored with a hack (documented on the Internet), and will
then work with standard Internet email services.

You can always buy an unlocked generic phone -- there's no reason to buy
from Cingular other than price, and TANSTAAFL.
