    new mobile - nec e540 - argh!

    my mobile popped today - a sony z600.

    in a fit of panic, i bought the first phone i could get my hands on that met the minimum requirements (flip, bluetooth, gprs): an nec e540

    now, it's a reasonable direct replacement, but for one thing - i can't get gprs working. and without gprs, i can't use the traffic updates on the tomtom

    which is vexing

    has anyone ever owned one of these, and gotten it on the interwebnet?
