The Internet as You Already Know It
Today many Nokia handsets come with a browser that is not only able to read WAP and XHTML pages, but also standard Web pages written in HTML. You've probably at least heard of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) - it's what traditional web pages are written in.
Of course, there are ups and downs to mobile browsing. The small screen can limit the browsing experience, and mobile data connection speeds aren’t yet comparable to browsing in fixed data networks. The speed of the network really comes in to play when the page you're requesting is large (i.e. it has a lot of images or other files). The upside is the fantastic convenience of mobility: when your phone's equipped with an HTML browser, you can access most Web pages.
Changing the Protocol
With the introduction of XHTML browsers on mobile phones, it was necessary to change the data transfer protocol. "Protocol" simply means a communication language; if two devices use the same protocol, they can send commands to each other. WAP uses a specific protocol called WAP Stack, whereas XHTML and HTML browsers use TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). You may have heard of TCP/IP before: it's the same protocol that your PC uses to access the Internet, and that's one reason why your mobile phone and PC can read the same web pages.
What a Good Mobile Browser Should Do?
The capability is there, so mobile browsers should live up to the possibilities. HTTP, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets, used to define the look and feel of a site), SSL (Secure Sockets Layer, for more secure browsing including shopping), and JavaScript are some of the commonly supported technologies.
In addition, the following may make mobile browsers more useful:
Multiple Content Types: browsers should read current (and sometimes legacy) versions of HTML, XHTML MP, WAP CSS, WML, WMLScript, and ECMAScript MP
Plug-In support: download plug-ins for viewing different content types
HTTP File Upload: upload images from your phone's local file directory to a web server, for example.
Multiple Content Rendering Options: a good browser will render pages nicely for the small screen, using incremental page rendering (so you don't have to wait for the whole page to load before you see anything), and allow the options of narrow or wide layout (so you can choose if you scroll sideways or not).
Many other features may be added to mobile browsers to make them more like standard Internet interfaces: bookmarks, download progress indicators, URL auto complete... the list goes on. As 3G technologies make data transfer faster, as an increasing number of websites write their pages in XHTML and take mobile Internet access into account, and as mobile screens get more sophisticated, maybe you won't be surprised to find yourself one day using your phone to access the Internet, and not thinking twice about it.

Mobile Browsing Technology on Nokia

Get Online with WAP, XHTML, or HTML
A mobile browser is simply any program that lets you access and read content on a network from a mobile device - usually the Internet or some other mobile network service. As more phones on the market boast high network connection speeds and color screens, mobile browsing is becoming more common (and a lot better-looking!)
What You Can Do with Mobile Browsers
Many new Nokia models come with an integrated XHTML or even HTML mobile browser, giving you the chance to surf without being chained to a desktop computer. Today's mobile browsers give you richer colors and faster browsing than the original mobile browsers, and most importantly, a way to access the Web at your fingertips. Considering the no-frills WAP sites that started off mobile browsing, the technology has come a long way.
How It Works
In order to browse with a mobile phone, you need to have a phone with a browser (either one that's built in or downloaded), a subscription from your network operator to a data service (GSM data, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, etc), and the correct settings on your phone. Then it's up to other companies and individuals to build the sites and services you can browse.

How It Works
Depending on the phone model, there are several different ways to access email with your mobile phone.
Symbian and Series 40
All Nokia devices running on Symbian OS and many Series 40 devices have an email program (called a "client") that can be used to download, read, and send email on your mobile phone. The email client lets you log in to your private or business email account supporting POP3, IMAP4, or SMTP protocols - the most widely used PC-email protocols.
SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and is typically used in programs that send email via the Internet. POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) and IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol Version 4) are used to receive email messages, storing your mail on the server until you download it.
Connecting
Email is usually delivered to and from your mobile phone over a mobile network connection. The connection method you choose depends on which technologies your mobile phone supports. Nokia mobile phones may support different kinds of data connections: a GSM data connection (CSD), a GSM high-speed data connection (HSCSD), a general packet data (GPRS) connection, enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE), wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) or wireless local area network (WLAN).
Typically, an access point for the data connection must be configured to connect to a data service -- and the same is true for email. The necessary access point parameters can be sent over- the- air to your device by a commercial Internet service provider (ISP), service provider, or network operator.
You also have to define your email settings including your email address, your outgoing and incoming mail servers, your mailbox type, and other preferences. Your mailbox type defines the protocol for receiving emails, which can be POP3 or IMAP4. Most service providers can send all the required settings directly to your device. Check with your service provider to see which protocol they recommend.
You can also choose just to get the email headers (sender and subject line) first, and then decide which messages you'll download, saving you both time and connection charges.
Sending Mail
Depending on the phone model, there are several different ways to access email with your mobile phone.
After you have defined settings for a new mailbox, the name given to that mailbox will appear in the main view of the phone. The only time you need to connect is when you are sending a message or collecting new messages you have received. You can compose and read your messages offline.
Other Email Options
Email Using a Mobile Browser
Many new Nokia devices have an advanced HTML browser that you can use to access your Web-based email account.
IMAP4 Idle
The Nokia 6630 smartphone is the first Nokia device to support the idle functionality in the Internet standard IMAP4 technology. This technology enables the email service to directly send new email to your phone without any need for connecting manually.
RIM Blackberry™
Several Nokia phones support the Blackberry™ email system that enables users to receive new email automatically to their device, rather than through logging in to a server to manually fetch it. Blackberry™ is an operator-dependent feature, and requires a subscription for the service.
