Posting with GPRS from Denmark
It sort of works. I'm using Telia DK - but the connection is either very slow or I need to configure the connection properly. Email works ok, as does posting to the blog. But I can't surf or download news to the aggregator. If you have any idea the email me at matthew at silent-penguin.com.

In my experience you need an excellent connection, meaning you either need to be in an urban area or very close to the mobile phone mast if you are in a rural area. Check the indicator on your phone, if it doesn't give you the full strength constantly it probably won't work. The last 5 or so entries in my blog were made from the road, some while I was in a city, some from the middle of nowhere (but right next to a mobile phone mast). They include pictures which I had to ftp to my webspace, this only works with a very good connection. Surfing is about the same. Happy mobile phone mast hunting ;-)
