Fido GPRS Internet - Is it just my phone or is it pretty flaky?

I've had the Nokia 7210 and the GPRS package for a couple of months.
The phone is alright and everything seems to work ok.  The internet
access is spotty at best.  I never have a problem getting a connection
but the wap pages never seem to work properly.

- I setup mobile Hotmail and logged in once.  I have never been able
to login in again.  It goes through the same screen.  (When you get to
the screen to choose @hotmail / @msn.com / other email / phone number
and select the correct choice - it loads for 3 seconds - then ends up
at the same screen.)  Wouldn't be half as frustrating if it had not
worked that one time.

- Cannot download apps or games from any sites.  Ringtones work but
not consistently.

- Even the FIDO home page,  gets stuck on the the Mobile Internet
Charges Apply.

- Generally, a lot of pages don't work or are inconsistent.

Anyone else having these problems?

I have an S55 and an 8390 handset before that.  Both phones
worked well with the WAP browser and Fido GPRS.  -- haven't
tried email yet.
