• GENERAL PACKET RADIO SERVICE (GPRS) AND CIRCUIT SWITCHED DATA (CSD)

Before you can use your phone as a wireless modem with your data or fax software, there are a few things you need to know about
recent developments in the wireless data technology. Once you understand more about the different types of digital data and fax
services available to you, you can configure your data or fax software for the right type of service.
Please read "Introduction to digital data" on page 34 for more information about digital data services before trying to configure
your PalmOS device.

• LEARN ABOUT YOUR PHONE AS A WIRELESS MODEM

You can use your Nokia phone as a wireless modem with Pocket PC devices, then use these devices to check e-mail or browse the
Web.
You may also be able to send and receive faxes from your Pocket PC device. However, this may require additional software from
another manufacturer. Check your device's user guide, Web site, or the Microsoft Pocket PC Web site for more information on available
software:

Important: To access the Internet using CSD, you must have an existing dial-up account with a full-service Internet provider
or dial-up access to a corporate network. Connection to online services such as CompuServe and Prodigy is not available at
this time.
Note: America Online offers a software program that allows you to check your AOL e-mail from your handheld device. For
more information, go to keyword: PDA.
