Making Your Data Connections
Revised: 12/16/04
■ Make a wireless GSM/GPRS/EDGE connection to place a
phone call or send or receive e-mail, text message, or
Multimedia Message Service (MMS) messages.
Note: EDGE technology delivers faster data speed than GPRS to
mobile devices. It allows users to connect to the Internet and send
and receive data, including digital images, Web pages and
photographs faster than with a GSM/GPRS network. If a network
provider does not have EDGE technology deployed, the HP
iPAQ defaults to GPRS data transfer rates. Because EDGE is
integrated into GPRS technology when it is enabled by your
service provider, there is no visible means of identifying when it
is being used. You will only be aware of faster data transmission.
■ Transfer information between Bluetooth enabled devices
■ Transfer information between two Infrared (IrDA) enabled
ports
Note: Use of dial-up and wireless Internet, e-mail, corporate
networks, and other wireless communications, such as
Bluetooth-enabled devices, may require separately purchased
additional hardware and other compatible equipment, in addition
to a separately purchased service contract. Check with your
service provider for availability and coverage in your area. Not
all Web content may be available. Some Web content may
require installation of additional software. GPRS may not be
available in all networks. GPRS data transmission speeds may
vary based upon network capabilities and other conditions. The
establishment and continuation of a GPRS connection depends on
network availability, provider support and signal strength.
