Answer 1

You have to create Access Points which can then be configured with Proxy Settings for different provider networks.
Go to Home->Menu->Settings->WirelessControls->MobileNetworks->Access Point Names create an APN and configure it for what ever provider you want

Hope that helps..

Finally i got what i want and here is the result :

There is no UI for proxy settings for android web browser. But the android web browser will read the proxy settings in its settings database. Here is the instructions to enable the proxy in the android web browser.

1. > adb shell
2. # sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. sqlite> INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,’http_proxy', 'proxy:port');
4. sqlite>.exit
