12. Minibrowser (Menu 8)
Minibrowser is a network service. See Network services, 6 for more information.
Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on the
mobile internet. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, then you can
view weather reports, check news or flight times, view financial information, and much
more. The web browser on your phone can display WAP-based content.
Your device may have some bookmarks loaded for sites not affiliated with Nokia. Nokia
does not warrant or endorse these sites. If you choose to access them, you should take
the same precautions, for security and content, as you would with any Internet site.
■ Mobile internet access
Because mobile internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your
wireless provider is now your mobile internet service provider as well.
It is likely that your wireless provider has created a home page and set up your browser
to go to this page when you log on to the mobile internet. Once at your service
provider’s home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.
It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your phone. Normally
this is done by your wireless provider once you have subscribed to the feature. Contact
your wireless provider if you have problems using the browser.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway and
the content server (or place where the requested resouce is stored) is secure. The service
provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the content server.
■ Sign on to the mobile internet
At the start screen, select
Menu
>
Minibrowser
>
Connect
.
After a brief pause, your phone attempts to connect to your wireless provider’s home
page. If you receive an error message, your phone may not be set up for browsing.
Contact your wireless provider to make sure that your phone is configured properly.

■ Navigate the mobile internet
Since your phone screen is much smaller than a computer screen, mobile Internet
content is displayed differently than you may be accustomed to seeing. This section
contains guidelines for using phone keys to navigate a WAP site.

To browse the WAP site, scroll up or down.

Receive a call while online
Depending on your wireless service provider, you may still be able to receive a voice call
while using the WAP browser.
•
To answer the incoming call, press the Talk key.
•
To reject the incoming call, press the End key.
After you end your voice call, the mobile internet connection automatically resumes.
Note: If your wireless service provider does not support incoming calls while
browsing, the incoming calls are automatically diverted to voice mail.
Make an emergency call while online
You can end your data connection and make an emergency call.
1. To close your mobile internet connection, press and hold the End key, or press the
End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the phone for calls.

Emergency numbers vary by location.
