12. Mobile Web
Minibrowser is a network service. See "Network Services," p. 5.
Your device 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 device 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 or content, as you would with any
internet site.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway
and the content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure.
The service provider secures the data transmission between the gateway and the
content server.
■ Mobile internet access
Because mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your device, 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 device.
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.
■ Sign on to the mobile internet
At the start screen, select
Menu
>
Minibrowser
>
Connect
or the operator
provided menu item.
After a brief pause, your device attempts to connect to your wireless provider’s home
page. If you receive an error message, your device may not be set up for browsing.
Contact your wireless provider to make sure that your device is configured properly.
■ Navigate the mobile Internet
Since your device 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 the keys to navigate a WAP site.
