I have a t681 on the vodafone uk network and it has downloaded 40 Kb files THROUGH WAP and had no problems with any wap site you care to mention.

And i though Voda Was C**k at one point

I use Orange France GPRS and I can't download crap from Esato unless I use my laptop using orange.fr as the APN.

@Korova

Why so negative?

Ericsson reccomends the following when developing WAP pages:
"Ensure by reducing the number of colors or dither percentage that the
picture file size does not exceed approx. 2720 Bytes, or it will not pass the older WAP gateways that many network operators still today
provide."

This may have changed slightly since the September release of the document, but for most users, the limit is still there. And because most visitors to Esato don't read the instructions and FAQ before downloading content from the site, we receive dozens of mails every day about this problem. Wouldn't like to get more of these..

I'm negative?

This topic is called - Why is the limit 3000 bytes for logos ? - is there a way around this ?

I was only trying to answer the, "is there a way around this ?", part, which, of course is what I did. I was then completely contradicted by you, saying that it couldn't be done.

Why so negative?

I'm sure you have plenty of knowledge on what

recommends and doesn't recommend, I had already thanked you for the same info in the link (to my topic on 35KB+ WAP gateways) you included in your earlier post.

Don't get me wrong, I know who you are, and I admire the way you keep this awesome site running. It's brilliant the way you cater for the majority, but if another site can offer something you can't, even if it is for a minority, then just deal with it. To be fair, phoneimage is a rather poor site, especially when compared with the quality of this site, but if it serves a purpose to some people, all well and good.

As for the issue of not enough people using the FAQ section, or the Search function, please read this.

I hope this helps.

I think there is a way.... Go to phoneimage.com, and in "wapgate critical info" you'll find there data to create an alternative wap profile ( provider from Denmark ). U can always use this profile to download specified files - it shouldn't cost u too much. The limitations of this gateway are about 4,5Kb for a file. Not enough for themes, but you always will be able to download a little bigger wallpapers, right?
