That's extremely annoying! Reckon we can get around it by using Opera Mini? And would the £2.50 a month cover that cost too?

I don't know what that is : (
i'm thinking of maybe using the 14-day return and seeing if o2 will price-match the tarrif i'm getting with '3'
any thoughts?

It's what most ppl used on their k750 for internet browsing is pretty good. Should be able to get it here:
http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/operamini/
I'm just presuming this'll work on the k800 too (but I'm sure someone here that knows a bit more than me could help you out) as it should be a way around it...
As for going over to O2, might be worth it. I'm sure they would offer u a competitive tariff.

opera seems to work!
just downloaded it on my mac and tranferred it to phone via usb - as the 3 wap browser wouldn't let me go to the opera link!
seems to work ok!
anything i need to know about using opera?
does it cost much to use?

thats because the walled gardens controlled by the network and not the phone
i didnt think vodafone did it, afaik only 3 do it so that you can only use their services and give them all your money
they removed the update managery thing because it isnt going to be able to connect to sonyericsson to update through the wall
there aint no way around it unfortunately

I'm not too good with phones but in the internet browser > more > options > other > status
profile: 3browse Locked
Would it be possible to create a new profile that has everything enabled? Just a thought.
Anyone with a bit more experience care to comment, or am I just clutching at straws?

I think the only way round the 3 wall would be to switch networks, wap access is through a proxy through the 3 network. One of the joys of having another SIM when with 3 is you can use them for WAP access (although I am seriously considering keeping the el cheapo phone I got from 3 and either sticking with Tesco for all my communication needs or switching to another network, like going back to Virgin again so I can enjoy 3G access of open WAP)

D'oh. May well have to send it back then...
O2 is a no go for me and I keep hearing the Vodafone branding is pretty bad. Doesnt leave me with many options at the mo...
