Kindle and hotmail

I just opened my new Amazon Kindle 3. The rudimentary browser listed under experimental is supposed to allow me to access hotmail, according to instructions. When I try to do so I get a message to the effect that it cannot connect. Were the instructions incorrect, or am I doing something wrong?

Do you have Wi-fi access where you are? Sounds like it can’t connect to it.

I do have wifi. I can connect to say, facebook or nytimes. But when I try to get hotmail it says that I cannot connect.

Perhaps Hotmail has a mobile site that would be more compatible with the dumbed-down browser on the Kindle.

Fierra tested going to Hotmail on her Kindle3 just now, logged in, and read mail. It seems to work for us.
