I am abroad for a few months and as it's been nigh on impossible to get
my Orange p910i phone unlocked for a local sim here as anyone only does

I'm interested in writing a Java app to run on a mobile phone to make
(non-HTTP) TCP/IP socket connections through to the Internet.
When GPRS and 3G first came out, there was lots of talk of service
providers creating Walled Gardens restricting access.
