Getting Connected
To take full advantage of the device, you will want to get connected. This
chapter tells you how you can get the device connected through a variety of
ways including GPRS/EDGE, modem, wireless network card, and Bluetooth
function. It also describes Internet Explorer for Web browsing.
10.1
Connection Settings
Your device has two groups of connection settings: “My ISP” and “My
Work Network.” My ISP settings are used to connect to the Internet, and My
Work Network settings can be used to connect to any private network, such
as a corporate network you use at work.
Connections can be made using GPRS, a modem or wireless network card.
After the connections, you can browse the Internet or intranet, send and
receive e-mail and instant messages, and synchronize information using
ActiveSync.
GPRS/EDGE Connection
Your device can receive GPRS and EDGE, both high-speed data-only
services that transmit data over a mobile phone network. In addition, GPRS
and EDGE provide permanent on-line connection.
To use GPRS or EDGE, you must have a subscription to the function with a
mobile phone operator that supports GPRS or EDGE.
