Update: i found the following settings on the web which i had to enter to get the Dreambook to connect to the internet.
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: (leave blank)
Port: (leave blank)
User name:WAP.CINGULARGPRS.COM
password: CINGULAR1
server; (leave blank)
mmsc: http://mmsc.cingular.com
mms proxy: wireless.cingular.com
mms port: 80
mcc: 310
mnc:410
authentication type: none
apn type:internet+mms
These settings got the W7 on the web, but the icon said "E" for edge. According to the owner's manual, the symbol for 3g appears to be the same bars that are seen when only the phone is active and the internet disconnected, even before i input the settings. Needless to say. I am a little confused on that issue, and am wondering if anyone on AT&T that has input the settings for 3g used settings different than what i listed above????. I did a speed test and it came back as 155 kbs. One other thing I noticed is that with my sim card installed the device really seems a little buggy, but perhaps future updates will make it a little more stable.
Mine didn't come with Google maps preinstalled like the manual says, so i have not had the opportunity to try the GPS. I thought i was ready to try the hdmi out but then rrealized i had the wrong cable. I ordered a mini hdmi to hdmi cable and i'll try it out as soon as I get the cable. However, i got an adapter for the usb host to convert to a stard usb female and attempted to hook up a keyboard/mouse, but absolutely nothing happened. Is there a setting that needs turned on to activate the usb host?
Lastly, the owners manual mentions fm radio, but i see no place in the programs of the device to interface with it. Is there software that needs downloaded to make use of this feature?
This is a really neat device. it works flawlessly on wifi, and i like the fact that it can make phone calls. I'm looking forward and hoping to be able to utilize all its features.
Thanks,
Mike
