T-Mobile GPRS with a Palm Tungsten T5 revisited

I upgraded my phone since the last time I used it to pair with my Tungsten T5 for data service. I found that my RAZR didn’t seem to work any better out of the box than my old Nokia 3650 did. The Palm default configuration wizard for US T-Mobile GPRS data still doesn’t work right – fortunately this forum posting was helpful in figuring out why.

To make it open a GPRS connection successfully the default T-Mobile script needs to be edited as follows:

Send: AT&FX1E0V1
Send: CR
Send: CR
Send: ATDT*99***1#
Send: CR
Wait For: CONNECT
End:

Since T-Mobile still seems to be blocking port 80 the proxy needs to be set in the Blazer browser in order for it to work. The T-Mobile proxy server @ 216.155.165.50 on port 8080 still works like a champ :)
