Yes, but don't tell Three that.

But Three do bar more ports on internet than BB, not certain
which ones yet, wonder if anyone has tried mapping them??
I know 3 internet block ports around 5198 to 5200 as I use a VOIP
called Echolink which has static ports there, so i have to use a proxy
server on around port 8100 to get around the problem.
Most VOIP have dynamic ports so it's not usually a problem if
some ports are blocked.
Also 3 internet sometime charge for outgoing SMTP 3mail on
the usual port 25, easy to avoid by using SSL port 465 instead
with an email service like googlemail on their SSL settings.
Obviously 3 internet so far have left alone the usual Usenet
ports like 119

If you're using it as a modem to a laptop/desktop computer, why would you
bother with 3mail? Why not just go to the web interface of your normal email
provider? For instance, when at home I have BT Internet as my ISP and use
Outlook Express as my email client with my BT Internet email account.
When out and about using my 3 USB dongle modem for internet access, I would
just use BT Internet's webmail interface (haven't actually tried it yet but
I don't see why it shouldn't work) as I would do from any internet cafe
around the world, so why bother with 3mail?

I tried to configure is but couldn't find the SSL option, on the S2, that
Google seem to insist upon.
At present I'm using the built-in webmail application (v1.x) and that's
awful.

All you need to know is ISPs and firewalls can block them
and so the services running on them.
The port numbers are divided into three ranges:
The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023.
The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151
The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535

Well, I've just taken delivery of my spanking new S2 (thanks to the
frequent recommendations here) and tried to set it up.
Whilst it appears a bit clunky from the outside (flat perspex front
and chunky keyboard), it really performs well and the software
appears well sorted.
T'internet works fine from USB through the S2 Mobile Modem
application. However, the same application never sees the phone when
it is set to Bluetooth.
I've had to resort to using the bog standard Windows DUN, which
seems to work fine over Bluetooth.
Am I doing something wrong?

Bluetooth is very convenient though. It must be said.
As long as my phone is somewhere with me, I just switch on the laptop and
I'm online.
No messing about plugging anything in. Far more convenient IMO.
Suppose it depends on the operating locations and user preferences, but I
like my bluetooth connection, even if it is a bit slower overall.
I have even still been online when my parner has gone in another room with
the S2 phone to take a call.....
Very useful

Have you checked under Menu -> Settings -> Connectivity -> Mobile Modem
connection?
Seems like on the S2 you have to manually switch it between doing data
by USB and data by Bluetooth. (I have mine on BT as the USB connection
isn't recognised by Linux.)

Useful when the coverage is poor though - stick it up high on the
window!

Yep - done that.
The S2 app simply doesn't see it.

I note that the PAYG tariff that comes with the S2 offers free 3 to
3 calls.
Does this mean that I can set incoming calls to forward to my 3
contract phone for free?
