Can't connect to PayPal (only) using Blazer

[kgoeller]

OK - this one is really odd to me. I've successfully connected to my online banking accounts and various other secure sites, so I know that encryption is supported. However, when I try to access PayPal ... even to get to the login page ... I receive a "download file" prompt, rather than Blazer browsing to the page.

I've written PayPal's customer support but thought someone here might have a clue what's going on. Anyone else having the same issue?

Are there any better web browsers out there on the market? Especially any that support BT printing?

Thank you!

let us know what paypal says.

Just heard back from Paypal support. In short:

"At this time, due to security reasons, you will not be able to access PayPal through your cell phone's web browser. This means you cannot access the Virtual Terminal with the cell phone. You will need to process the payments through a computer. A suggestions is a laptop and you can use it at a HotSpot. "

Well, that's a bummer. That means that despite everything I have to lug a laptop with me, which defeats the whole point of the setup. GRRRR.

BUT... I did find a really nice new web browser that I already like a lot better than Blazer for a bunch of applications: Opera Mini (www.opera.com)
