RE: [Treo] Re: Can only Treo 600s and 650s browse the web?

[Wallach, Levi]

Craig, I have T-Mobile too, but unlocked a T600 that I bought from a friend who 
was using it with AT&T.  I had to manually set the proxy to T-Mobile's server 
and it took me a while to find it.  It was mentioned on some of T-Mobile's 
support pages, but not others.  Wait, now that I think of it, I think I 
remember them saying that it was not being used anymore because basically all 
web traffic was being proxied by default, so I think you may be right here!  
But I wonder if you could simply avoid this by using a third-party proxy server 
that doesn't actually do any of that reformatting.  Then again, this wouldn't 
give you a real picture of what most T-Mobile customers are seeing...

Hmm...well, with T-Mobile, I don't see a way to *not* use their proxy,
so in my case, I *am* forced to get stuff through a proxy server. 
Whether or not it does reformatting is beyond me, but I do know that
once upon a time, maybe back when Handspring was still around, they
were the proxy server for Blazer -- the browser was set up for all
traffic to go through them so they could reformat the pages on the
fly.  Slow, but things generally looked pretty good even on the small
screen.

With that said, I'd much prefer a direct connection and let the
handheld handle whatever arrives.
