somewhat confused... would love some clarification on these things:

1. opera knows to use my PC's internet connect when it's docked, very cool.
2. the built in browser doesn't know to use the PC's internet connect when docked, any way to correct this?
3. email sometimes uses the PC's internet connect, but sometimes doesn't, when docked... huh? example, i see the little gprs globe pop up when i do 'get & send', i quickly hit disconnect on it. then i hit 'get & send' again and the globe will pop up again, but doesn't really connect via gprs... i get my emails really fast, and when i check the 'information' on the globe icon, it says 0bytes sent, 0received... funky!

make a bogus GPRS connection that doesn't connect to anything.

Have your email and web browser use that when you're docked and everything will work correctly.

It's a bug in these two applications (they try to connect without checking if there's a docking station link).

I've tried using a dummy GPRS connection but when I try to check my e-mail, it tries to connect, the little globe icon appears then disappears, then Messages hangs and eventually crashes!

Am I doing something wrong?

It does the same for me with the bogus connection - the globe appears and then dissapears.

I thought I had this worked out...

Just checked again (I had to log off and log back onto my computer because mrouter was acting up) and it works.

I have a 256Kbps connection at home. The speed in which emails are downloading or webpages are showing are LIGHTNING fast!

That means that my GPRS connection is pretty slow when compared to this, and the bottleneck for the display is the GPRS, not the phone itself!!!
