Mobile Internet
The mobile Internet offers much more than mobile 
access to the Internet. It opens up a whole new 
range of situation-based services that give the user 
access to personalized communications, 
information and entertainment, anytime, anywhere. 
Data connections
In order to browse via WAP or use an Internet 
connection, the user must have a data 
communication connection configured in the 
phone. This connection contains specific settings 
and parameters to connect to an appropriate 
server. Several data connections can be saved in 
the T310/T312. To make it easier for the user, data 
connections can be provided by the operator via 
OTA provisioning.
Advantages of data connections include:
Once the data connections are defined and 
named, the user does not have to enter the 
settings for the connection again.
Data connections can be re-used at any time.
Individual data settings for working with WAP, e-
mail or the Internet can be stored and activated 
as needed.
Data connections can be used for both GSM 
Data and GPRS connection settings.
Bearer type for WAP and corresponding bearer-
specific parameters may be selected.
Data connections contain all the necessary 
settings for the Internet access point, including 
modem pool phone number or IP address, user 
ID and password.
General Packet Radio Services
The introduction of GPRS (General Packet Radio 
Services) is one of the key steps in the evolution of 
today’s GSM networks for enhancing the 
capabilities of data communication. Data traffic is 
increasing enormously (over both wired and 
wireless networks), with the growth in demand for 
Internet access and services paralleling that for 
mobile communications. Users want access to the 
Internet while they are away from their offices and 
homes, and surveys have found that the vast 
majority of business professionals want the ability 
to send and receive e-mail, browse the Web and 
transmit text and graphics on a portable device. 
That is why the main applications driving Mobile 
Internet development are e-mail clients and Web 
browsers. 
The demand for high-speed Internet access will be 
the key driver for coming generations of wireless 
services, and GPRS can deliver the necessary 
speed. GPRS allows innovative services to be 
created, enabling new and previously inaccessible 
market segments to be addressed and increasing 
customer loyalty. 
GPRS applications can be developed as both 
horizontal and vertical. Vertical applications are 
specific, including those for operations such as
