One thing I will confirm is this, which my clarify a lot of questions you folks have, and the mixed bag of results. If you have a BB and wish to do more than WAP browsing, and have only a rate plan with no added data features such as the BIS/BWC option or BES option, TCP/HTML browsing etc isn't going to work, period. You at least need to have the BB option on your account for $20 for unlimited GPRS as it grants you access to additional ports. In essence, some customers may have noticed some time ago that they could use all ports at no cost via wap.voicestream.com which wasn't really fair. Security tightened up and all is well now. You can continue using that APN and there's no need for a user/pass but again, follow the advice I've given and you should be off and running. I will confirm that I was able to setup a 7290 as a modem in XP and browse to my banking site and hit FTP without a hitch and I was using wap.voicestream.com to browse.
