I currently have a Bold 9650, and with a Global Email plan while in the UK.
Data works perfectly fine, with the exception of the web browser, which just stalls/does not respond.
Do I need to change any settings in the phone to use the Vodafone UK proxy server or something?

That doesn't have to do with my problem. I have data in everything just fine, it's just for browsing the web, it usually stalls until I battery pull, then it works again a little, etc...
Could it have to do with APN settings?
I have provided some information below that may help.
