Branded versus unbranded phones

[Jonathan Mosen]

No this has nothing to do with DHCP although the phone does have DHCP for
WiFi connections. This has to do with automatically detecting network
settings for the GSM network itself, such as Message Centre, MMS settings,
WAP and GPRS settings. With both the E61I and N82, the phone automatically
detects all these settings the first time the SIM is inserted.

jonathon, is this just using dhcp or is there more to the 
configuration for mobiles on the internet?

  also, how difficult and what needed to be done for your n82 to work 
on the voda phone network here in nz?
