Connecting to the Web

To browse the web and access web-based utilities such as instant messaging,

one of these data networking connections must be available:

• GPRS
• EDGE
• 3G
• HSPA
• Wi-Fi

GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSPA

To connect to the web using GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA

Your device is configured with GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA network available

with the service provider of the SIM card installed in your device. However,

this is only limited to voice calling and text messaging. If a Wi-Fi connection

is currently available, the device automatically uses the Wi-Fi connection to

access the web. The web connection through GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA

becomes temporarily inactive, until the Wi-Fi connection ends.
If you wish to connect to the web using a GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA data

network:

Touch the Home button

→

the Menu button

→

Settings

→

Wireless controls

, then touch

Wi-Fi

to disable it.

Touch the Home button

the Menu button

→

Settings

→

, then touch

enable it.

NOTE:

Depending on whether a GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA network is currently in

use, a corresponding data network icon appears on the status bar after a data

connection is established. See

Status Bar

page 27 for a mapping of the data

network icons.
