Minibrowser is a network service. See "Network services," p. 5.
Your device has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on
the mobile internet. If your network operator supports this feature, then you can
view weather reports, check news or flight times, view financial information, and
much more. The web browser on your device can display WAP-based content.
Your device may have some bookmarks loaded for sites not affiliated with Nokia.
Nokia does not warrant or endorse these sites. If you choose to access them, you
should take the same precautions, for security or content, as you would with any
internet site.
The security icon does not indicate that the data transmission between the gateway
and the content server (or place where the requested resource is stored) is secure.
The network operator secures the data transmission between the gateway and
the content server.

Mobile Internet access
Because mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your device, your
network operator is now your mobile Internet service provider as well.
It is likely that your network operator has created a home page and set up your
browser to go to this page when you log on to the mobile Internet. At your service
provider’s home page, you may find links to a number of other sites.
It should not be necessary to manually configure the browser on your device.
Normally this is done by your network operator after you subscribe to the feature.
Contact your network operator if you have problems using the browser.

or the

After a brief pause, your device attempts to connect to your network operator’s
home page. If you receive an error message, your device may not be set up for
browsing. Contact your network operator to make sure that your device is
configured properly.

Navigate the mobile Internet
Since your device screen is much smaller than a computer screen, mobile Internet
content is displayed differently than you may be accustomed to seeing. This
section contains guidelines for using the keys to navigate a WAP site.
