Re: OT - E815 + geotrust quickssl cert

Ah nuts, I had meant to tack this on to the last email - but here's a
quick followup;

How new is the 815 - if I again assume it's with Sasktel. If it is,
there were some additional changes made to the WAP 2.0 service,
ranging from what I assume would include authentication through to
other related services (picture messaging, downloads).

There's an even smaller possibility that - IF it was working prior and
has stopped (or has only been attempted) since the 17th of April, it
may be related.

So again, if it turns out not to be related to either the handset, or
geotrust - let me know and I'll do some digging.
