Browsing the web
Internet Explorer Mobile provides quick and
easy access to web pages. You can view
most sites on your smartphone that you
can view on your computer, including those
with security and advanced features, such
as JavaScript and frames.
Internet Explorer Mobile supports
JavaScript, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
and cookies, but does not support plug-ins
(Flash, Shockwave, VBScript, WML script,
and so on) or Java applets.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Do the following:
• Be sure to subscribe to data services
from your wireless service provider.
This is necessary for browsing the web.
• Make sure your phone is on and that
you’re inside a coverage area (see
Turning your phone on
).
Viewing a web page
By default, Internet Explorer Mobile scales
web page content to fit your smartphone
screen so that you can view most of the
information without scrolling left or right.
1 Press Start and select Internet
Explorer.

(URL) that is compatible with Internet Explorer
