Google maps not working on BJ2 with 5.99 t-mobile?

Hi all.

I used to have a BJ1 with WM5 - used the 5.99 t-mobile plan and it worked great - internet access through PIE, google maps - everything. I upgraded to a BJ2 and set it up the same way - everything works exactly like my old phone except MSLiveSearch and Google Maps will now not connect. They both run OK, but when fetching data, they sit endlessly "loading" and nothing ever appears. MSL eventually times out but GMM just keeps spinning, doing nothing.

Anyone got any ideas why this might be? Does GMM just not work in WM6 with the old t-zones hack? GMM is bloody useful and not being able to use it at the moment is like having lost a hand :D

Thanks in advance :(

FYI this is the configuration I have on my BJ2 to get it on to T-mobile's data...

I know you shouldnt need two GPRS accounts but for some reason on certain WM6 phones it ONLY works with both. The Blackjack 2 is one of them.

See the changes in red, that's all you'll need, no need to set DNS or Advance menu, everthing else leave it as default.

With this setting though, all internet data such as web, google map, yahoo go work fine, except my POP3 email, until I change the the GPRS "Connects to" back to internet (as what you've set originally) then it flipped, email works but no web browsing.
