| Hi,
I have a Sony Ericsson W800i and I am trying to get some GPS
navigation software onto it. I have a few hundred mb of memory on the
memory stick and about 30mb on the phone. I have changed the settings
so the phone uses O2 WAP GPRS, however when I try to download a file
from a website it always says 'Downloading Failed'.
Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks,
Matt

O2 WAP GPRS is not the internet. If you are on O2 PAYG I don't think you
can access full internet.

As Jon said, if your on O2 PAYG you don't have full internet access so you
probably won't be able to download your software. On top of that, even if
you're on a contract, data transfer on O2 will cost you £3/MB unless you
buy a data bundle. A GPS navigation software will need maps to work. The
maps are either going to be bundled with the software or downloaded
dynamically as you travel around with the software running. In any case,
downloading maps might end up using dozens of MB costing you a fortune.
