Trouble Shooting for S60 Phones (N-series, E-series, 9000-series and more):

There are some phones which gave error IO Exception: HTTP-Version Mismatch, Native Error-36. It was on mine too. Then I tried one tip given by the author for S60 Phones

ZerOwl was the first to report that disabling proxy solves (at least some of) the connection problems on Nook Nokia S60 phones (N-series, E-series, 9000-series and more):

• Choose Menu -> Settings -> Connection -> Access points -> “Connection name”
• Choose Options -> Advanced
• Set Proxy serv. address to blank (I.e., remove the address)

Hope that works for you too. Good luck and enjoy it on your phone. :).
