Red face How do i set up Orange M600 WiFi?

Please help, I have recently bought an Orange M600 PDA phone, and have also taken up the Orange broadband package. New to all of this, I have managed to connect my PC to the net via WiFi and want to do the same with my Orange M600 (so that i can surf the net while my other half hogs the PC). I've tried to enter the WEP but the M600 won't take the long WEP i have. What am i doing wrong?
Also, i want to be able to use the net at coffee shops and so on. Do i have to do any setting up for this, and if so what? How do i pay? how much should i expect to pay and can i get a WiFi connection free in any public places?
Thanks in anticipation

For your Wi-Fi, take a look at www.jwire.com for locations and costs.

As for your home wi-fi issue. First thing first. Remove all encryption from your router, remove MAC filtering (if you use it) and make it visible just to test the M600 will connect. If it does, turn on encryption again but keep visible for the time being.

When entering your WEP key, you must use the same case throughout in your hex. Some routers see H7 and h7 as completely different, so try both methods to see which your router needs. Had a similar issue with my router and Ipaq and the router wanting the ipaq as lowercase, yet everything else is uppercase. Go figure.

Once you're working, you can hide your router again, and reapply MAC filtering (if you use it - be sure to add the M600 first though!).
