You are definitely learning me a lesson on careful reading here.
All i hope now is that my provider is gonna give me the settings i need. And ofcourse that it will be available before the end of october!

i asked Laffen:
could it be that i have an older version of the WP? I just checked it, but the info you're reffering to, can't find it.
Got the file named P800 WP R1B intern.pdf created 22-5 12:41, modified 23-5 07:52. I got it via this forum.
Laffen replyed:
No, you actually got a newer version of the whitepaper. I just discovered that I've got two versions myself.
LZT 123 943 R1A (Feb 2002) and the R2B (May 2002)
But the R2B is for internal use only. :??: Well, Ericsson have made changes to online documentation before...

I've made enquiries as to whether it will be upgradeable but this is highly unlikely due to I-mode/3G being totally different to GSM and GPRS funtionality.
Just for your information, I-mode and 3G are totally different and GPRS is used in 3G networks for data transfer. I-mode is a mobile service platform while 3G is the whole 3rd generation mobile network.

I stand corrected.
I-mode will work on P800. Spoke with a colleague last night about this and it appears it uses GPRS.
When we were doing UMTS work last year there was a lot of talk about I-mode in Japan and at that time I thought it was a 3G spin-off but we had to concentrate hard on getting the first 3G call in the UK and wanted to beat them so I didn't have time to dig any deeper.
But some of the people I spoke to before I posted couldn't give me a definite answer.

Orange: GPRS is not used in 3G. 3G stands for a new technology, using higher frequencies (new antenna's needed) new coding techniques and errorcorrection-algorithms to transfer data to/from mobile devices at high speeds. GPRS is commonly referred to as "2.5 G": it uses the same timeslots, same antenna's, same frequencies as in GSM...

Bajie: I-mode has no relation with 3G. 3G is a technique to transfer data to/from mobile devices at high speeds. I-mode is a "middle-ware" solution to offer attractive services using a compact language from NTT-DoCoMo. One thing is correct: I-mode needs a transport-mechanism like GPRS (2.5G) or UMTS (3G) to offer it's content to mobile devices...

Well, you can see
here what is used.

Ahhh, EDGE. Yes well, that is a different story. It is discutable whether EDGE falls under the term 3G. No Operator yet has reported to use EDGE. What they do in EDGE is nothing more than a new modulation technique and a more efficient error-correction algorithm to speed up the datarates in GPRS. EDGE still uses the same resources as is the case in GPRS.
In general, when referring to 3G, usually is meant: UMTS; because of the needed license to use a new bandwidth. Personally I would consider EDGE as being 2.5G. I can see why a vendor of EDGE-systems would rather refer to as 3G because of the hyped value of the word "3G" but this discussion doesn't bring us futher on this thread
... which was Imode on the P800. Sorry for the sidestep guys.
