Go to mobile.msn.com with the wap browser and you get a new login in screen but you try to log in; Hotmail, messenger, .NET, whatever.....
Trouble is we UIQ users still cant get in!!!!
Its weird though and call me cyncal but I has a suspicsion it nothing to do with UIQ, it more o do with if you have not got windows mobile!
This is what I mean... here is a link to the login screen you would get following the above in the same format etc as you would see it on Px00:
https://mobile.passport.net/si/login.aspx
Try it on your PC, see what I mean. Cookies disabled; my @rs..e! I rather supsect MS are not playing fair and the site looks at what browser you are running and if its not a MS mobile one you get this nonsence answer.

You're absolutely right, mate, this has also happened to me every time I try to access MSN mobile.

Yep, seen that before - but thanks. Thing is its not really the point is it. The web address I posted above is the new format low bandwidth thing that MSN had put up and when I saw it I thought horay, I'm going to be in here.
Then I see it says my browser does not allows cookies (not true, but its Symbian so who knows about compatabily but cookies are only a txt file after all) then checking the page on my PC (MS powered) it gives me the same thing.... Now come on, does this not smack of protectionism to their mobile software? Just the product manger was not smart enough to make it work with a desktop PC so everyone really though it was symbians browsers fault!
and I don't want a mymail account. I know nothing about them at all.

I see what you mean, I've seen that screen before...I don't know why it does that...
About mymail, I've had it since last week and it's great to read emails, doesnt use up too much data transfer...just my opinion though, I don't have another solution, sorry
