You can use your device to exchange information with other mobile devices as well as your PC, a network, or the
Internet. You have the following connection options:
•
Use the infrared (IR) port on your device to send and receive files between two devices.
•
Connect to your mobile Internet service provider (ISP). Once connected, you can send and receive e-mail
messages by using Inbox and view Web or WAP pages by using Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer. The
communication software for creating a wireless ISP connection is already installed on your device. Your service
provider will provide software needed to install other services, such as paging and fax services.
•
Connect to the network at your company or organization where you work. Once connected, you can send and
receive e-mail messages by using Inbox, view Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet Explorer, and
synchronize with your PC.
•
Connect to the virtual private network (VPN) at the company or organization where you work. Once connected,
the added security of a VPN means that you can access the full resources of your company's network. For
example, you can use File Explorer to access the files of computers on that network.
You can use CDMA 1XRTT to connect to your mobile ISP, and use the connection to send and receive e-mail
messages, synchronize wirelessly, and view Web or WAP pages.
Starting a connection:
Once you have successfully inputted your operator's connection settings into your device and your phone
is turned off flight mode, you can then access the Inbox or Internet, and these programs will start
automatically.
Once connected, you can:
•
Send and receive e-mail messages by using Inbox. Before you can use Inbox, you need to provide the
information it needs to communicate with the e-mail server. For specific instructions, see Connect Directly to an
E-mail Server later in this chapter.
•
Visit Web and WAP pages by using Pocket Internet Explorer.
•
Send and receive instant messages with MSN Messenger.
A pop-up screen will appear once you begin connecting, and leave when
the connection is complete.
To disconnect the Internet connection, press and hold the End
button,
