I have everything working on my BJ working (internet, data, access to exchange server at work, voicemail, sms) -- except I can't get the BJ to accept my t-mobile configuration for MMS messaging. Any ideas?

Here are the steps to configure a T-Mobile Dash (which is a windows 5.0 smartphone very similar to the BJ). When I try to set up the MMS account - the BJ won't accept the settings. It says that it cannot save them. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
