The GPRS Monitor icon and pop-up window
Another way of displaying status information visually is by enabling the
GPRS Monitor icon to be shown on the title bar. This icon shows the GPRS/

2. Tap Tools > Options > Icon tab.
3. Select the Show taskbar icon check box.
By default, the GPRS Monitor icon shows three bars that represent the
following status information:
Icon Bar 2: Traffic
(Full bar corresponds to
100%. Each bar is 20%.)
Icon Bar 3: Battery
(Each bar corresponds to
20% of the total charge.)
Icon Bar 1: Speed
(Full bar corresponds
to 19KB/sec.)
When you tap the GPRS Monitor icon
on the title bar, a pop-up window opens
and shows you detailed statistics about data
transfers, such as the data size just transferred
and its cost, the data amount left that you are
allowed to transfer, and more.
