Three - Wireless LAN access issues

[jamesha100]

Hi,

I have just received a Nokia E61 which I ordered from Three's web site.

The E61 is a smart phone/PDA which includes support for wireless LAN access as well as 3G and GPRS.

However, it seems that Three do not want anyone accessing the Internet via their own wireless network as, despite being able to configure the WLAN settings and the phone detecting my access point, it does not seem possible to configure the browser to use the wireless link. When I run the browser it automatically connects to the Three 3G network and there is no option that I can find to change this.

It seems like a cycnical ploy by Three to line their pockets - no doubt thought up by some marketing muppets with zero commitment to customer satisfaction.

If anyone can advise how to overcome this I will be grateful. I am going to send the phone back if I have not made any progress by next week.
