What can I do with the built-in Bluetooth technology?
Connect to your Bluetooth phone to send text, multimedia, or e-mail messages or access the
web.
Whether you access the Internet or your e-mail account, or send text or multimedia
messages, once a week or constantly throughout the day, wireless connectivity means that you
can go online or share files anytime you are in a coverage area for your mobile phone or are
within range of your laptop connected to the Internet.
Reduce cable clutter by synchronizing wirelessly.
Imagine a world—or even your workstation—
without cables. While using Bluetooth technology on your handheld does not completely
eliminate cable clutter, it can replace many of those cables with a wireless connection for tasks
such as synchronizing your handheld with your computer.
Connect to other devices, such as cameras and other handhelds, to share files wirelessly.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could send files such as photos to another handheld? Use the built-in
Bluetooth technology to set up connections to devices within approximately 30 feet of your
handheld.
What types of connections can I make?
With Bluetooth technology, you can make connections using the following types of devices:
• To browse the web and send and receive e-mail messages, connect to the Internet in these ways:
• Using your mobile phone, by dialing your ISP or signing up with a high-speed wireless carrier
account
• Linking through your desktop computer's network connection
• Establishing a connection to a Bluetooth Access Point connected to the Internet.
• To send and receive text and multimedia messages, connect to your mobile phone.
