I have tried to connect to the BT Openzone WiFi in three different branches of Starbucks recently on my Glaxy S Android phone with no success. I get an error message that says the securtiy certificate is not valid and a button to try again or quit. Trying again does the same thing. I have no trouble at all connecting with my laptop PC. The staff obviously look at you as if you've got three heads, so I have no idea if it can be fixed. Anyone else have this issue? (By the way, I hate theit coffees, they're awful! But the WiFi is handy, I was working from a Starbucks one afternoon last week!).

Fixed!
FWIW, an upgrade from Android v2.1 to v2.2 fixed this and several other bugs I'd noticed too. Galaxy S now performs the way it should.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.
