12

The card will register with the GSM network

13

Select the sixth icon on bottom for Data functions.  It will probably open to this default page - But, whatever page it opens to will be in cache and it will not attempt a connection to the internet yet. 

14

Tap on the URL window and enter a new URL

I suggest doing a bandwidth test to make certain all is running properly.  Many places to do this on the web - a simple one that works well on a PDA is 2wire.

For a Bandwidth test go to  www.2wire.com

The connection process will begin

15

The first time you connect the system will ask for some information.

16

For T Mobile and AT&T leave the fields blank and check the Save Password box.

Click OK

If you are using Cingular:

User name:   WIXDC001@W5.MYCINGULAR.COM

Password:     ZXY203DC9K0402

Check the Save Password Box

17

The connection process will continue with the two arrows on top moving back and forth.

18

When the connection occurs the two arrows on top will become stationary pointing away from each other and a  speedometer will appear to the left of the arrows. This speedometer gives you relative data rate information.

Tap the button that says "Speed Meter"

19

Tap once on the speedometer - a data information window will replace the URL window - Tap the chevrons in the lower right on this window and a graph will appear showing data flow.

20

Dependent upon connection this test will take from one to three minutes.  When the test is done the graph will drop off and the screen might refresh. 

Tap the chevrons in the lower right of this window and the graph will close.  Then tap on the speedometer and your URL window will reappear.

21

Scroll down in the window to see the test results. 

Our testing and the testing of our customers gives us the following data about what to expect concerning data rates. 

T-Mobile as a general rule gives the best throughput and their Tech Support staff is superior. 

• T-Mobile - between 38 - 46 Kbps

• AT&T - between  24 - 36 Kbps

• Cingular - Varies based upon location in USA

22

Tap on the two arrows and tap the disconnect button to break the data connection.

23

Tap the phone icon - the phone comes back online.  Insert your headset into the jack on the top and your ready for phone calls.

Play around with the Software - For example use the second icon the bottom and you are presented with your Contact list.  This will allow you to dial anyone in your contact list.  Other icons manage call lists, email and speed dialing.  In the options area you can select any wav file you like for ringer and other ways to personalize your Pocket PC. 

Enjoy !
