APN Authentication enabled: yes
Username for APN: wapuser1
Password for APN: "wap"

Check with your service provider for their WAP settings.

Good idea but buggy and poor support
December 28 2009

Good idea and when it works fine it's a good app. Unfortunately it's far too buggy on the Bold with papers not downloading (but still charged for) and when they do download some or even all of the articles aren't accessible, rendering it useless. Product support is non-existent, at least for UK users. Only contact is an email address for Canada that takes days to get back to you, with just stock responses. In summary, good idea but poor execution and no support means not worth getting.

waste of time!

Far too expensive for news you can get for free. Its great idea, but editorials alone aren't worth $10/month.
