Notes:
It was necessary to install GPRS update on the Psion, but then to DELETE the file C:\System\libs\irda.prt since it caused the IR port to be disabled.
APN and username on the phone (in this case "mobile.o2.co.uk" and "web") should match the entry on the Psion. This will be different from the WAP APN and username, which was automatically zapped to my phone by the service provider, causing much of the configuration confusion.
