Hi Arne,

I'm using Windows Server 2003 on my laptop and I'm trying to install the modem driver. But when I point it the location where I've stored the .inf file provided by you I get a message saying the Specified location does not contain information about your hardware

I just set this up with my Qtek 7070 and Windows 2000 Pro, although the dialogs differ slightly, it worked like a charm, thanks for a great how-to :-)

please help me...

I have followed all the steps..

it is very similar to setting my old nokia 3650.... before I go to mio 8380..

got a little problem cause my winxp can't get any modem driver for my mio (i even use the one u put the link up here).. but after some hours trying.. finally.. the driver is recognized (i don't even know what the real prob until now)...

but i still have a problem..

I think I know where the problem lies. It's on here : AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","YOUR_APN_NAME_HERE","",0,0

I'm from Indonesia.. and I use matrix for connection.. thus.. 

it will look something like this :

AT+cgdcont=1,"IP","satelindogprs.com","",0,0

but i got an error.. that the server either not responding.. or I dial back to myself...

what's wrong with it ???

it's a little different with the setting for my nokia 3650 that is like this :

AT+cgdcont=,,"satelindogprs.com" -> it is actually have something between AT and +cgdcont.. but I forgot what it is..

I can't contact the service center.. I don;t know why.. they always busy..

even if I can... I doubt that they can help me.. since mio 8380 is not very well known here in Indonesia... (hey.. Mitac doesn;'t have any branch here)..

so.. please... can u help me ???

fire..greetings from mio8380 user ! hehehehe..

i think the problem maybe the dial number..this web said *99#,well u can try *98# or *99***1# or *99*1# or maybe any combination with 98,99,*,and # but remember always use *as a start and 99 or 98.

anyway...as i described before,i am a mio8380 user and live in bandung and i think i need your help here,.i need to know what kind of rom do u use..when u activate the phone.is it show mio8380 with chinese caracters or mio8380 picture with blue black color picture.inform me,ok...thanks

I got the same problem last few days.

Finally, got the answer after I use automatic system by Ericsson R520 modem setup.

Try *98*3# for your dial-up number. Works for me.

Unfortunately, the bandwidth rate not as promised, below 2Kbps.

hi..

sorry not to visit here too long..

actually I use *99***1# because I use matrix (here in Jakarta). It's the number I got from the operator the last time I use Nokia 3650 to connect.

well..

in the end, I found that mio8380 is not that good as I thought before..

I thought that microsoft smartphone 2002 OS will make it a very cool phone with many feature..

but infact.. I found.. that it can't even use pocket word or pocket excel, the pocket IE is not very good that it can't even open a site with frame, the sms system is very poor because it was designed primarily for email not sms (I got pissed off by the fact that I can't send an sms that is more than 1 page at a time, and the sms that cannot be sent due to lack of signal or anything, can't be forward again just like that (I mean that when I forward it to send it again, it adds a header just like mail which is disgusting because I have to erase all the header), and many many other complains..)

well..

I now use nokia 6600. Really really satisfied just like when I use nokia 3650...

I can connect to internet with no effort at all, I can view MSWord (yes, u got that right... MSWord.. with the quickword program for symbian), I have installed opera to browse internet (and it can even open a site with frame and the format is the same with pc), I can cut, copy, paste in sms messaging, and many many other feature that I love.

sorry... and thx anyway
