WM6 -Simultaneous GPRS+ Connections

[GMCloud27]

(I apologize ahead if this may be "common knowledge" for WM-I'm on a huge catch up on the WM platform and still learning)

For the past few weeks I've gone through Exchange mail hell and various e-mail services and eventually settled on BlackBerry Connect. One of the issues I run into on various cooked ROMs is whether it's hex edited to CE 5.1 (a many thanks JJ on BE) but this is easy to work with. The major problem is a good portion of my 8525 is accessing cingular's APN and not Blackberry's.

The question is is WM capable of simultaneious data connections to both APNs: cingular (US) and blackberry.net or is there a software solution to do this?

There was one case that I've found throughout searching a few too many threads where the member claimed to be able to surf the internet and check e-mail on WMXL .20 but I had no luck on it.

Thanks to everyone.

I am using the BB connect and have had both APN showing up in the "bubble". I wanted to find out if I could surf using the BB APN only as is done on say the Pearl. Or would I need the APN from the cell provider as well. Presently both are on the Sim so I cannot chk.

Want to remove the GPRS APN that I used initially. Will I be able to surf the net using the BB APN.

Interesting that you were able to get both connections in the "bubble" but are you able to use data from the carrier APN while still tranferring data from BB's APN and you're curious on whether we can cut our data plans and move to BIS and be ok? I was wondering the same if so and if I knew that BIS on a non BlackBerry device would work, I'd just tell Cingular that I've got an 8800 and need BIS. Then the 8525 could access both internet and e-mail on one connection.

The thought does come up of whether 2G or 3G/HSDPA would still come in ok on a BIS plan on a 3G device but I would imagine that the speeds are independent of data plans and dependent on hardware only.
