Types of connections
The PDA phone can be very easily configured to access the Internet or a corporate network to perform such tasks as browsing the World Wide Web, sending e-mail, or
exchanging instant messages with friends or co-workers. Connections can be made with a
dial-up modem, wireless modem (GPRS or Circuit Switched Data, CSD) or wireless LAN
(WLAN) card.There are two supported groups of connection settings: My ISP (which
allows you to access the Internet) and My Work Network (which allows you to access private resources such as your Intranet, VPN, or other protected resources).
