Note:
To access the Internet, you must have a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone and subscribe
to data services from a wireless operator. Unless you subscribe to “always on” data services
(such as GPRS), you will also need an account with an Internet service provider (ISP) to access
the Internet. Check with your providers for more information.
