[Qtopia] roaming - manual selection not working

[Cédric Berger]

not so easy to try since at home I do not have access to roaming network...

but when I try to select manual search mode (while yet connected) from
the Network selection menu, which fails, log shows :
AT+COPS=1,2,0
+CME ERROR: 3

so it looks like the AT+COPS=1,2,0 is wrong : last number should have
been provider number (20810)


I was able from console to do a successful AT+COPS=1,1,"SFR"   (and I
think also AT+COPS=1,2,"20810")

(when connected to roaming network,I thought I had seen failed log of
AT+COPS=1,2,20810  but I will have try again tomorrow....)
