Packet data (GPRS)
GPRS (general packet radio service) enables wireless access for mobile phones to data networks (network service). GPRS uses packet data technology where information is sent in short bursts of data over the mobile network. The benefit of sending data in packets is that the network is occupied only when sending or receiving data. As GPRS uses the network efficiently, it allows for quick data connection
You must subscribe to the GPRS service. For availability and subscription to GPRS, contact your network operator or service provider.
Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS) is similar to GPRS, but it enables faster connection. For more information on the availability of EGPRS and data transfer speed, contact your network operator or service provider. Note that when you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the device uses EGPRS instead of GPRS if this is available in the network.
During a voice call, you cannot establish a GPRS connection, and any existing GPRS connection is put on hold unless the network supports dual transfer mode.
UMTS
UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) is a 3G mobile communication system. Besides voice and data, UMTS enables audio and video delivery to wireless devices.
Your device can automatically switch between the GSM and UMTS networks.
To select which network to use, select Menu > Tools > Settings > Network and the network in Network mode. If you want the device to switch between the networks automatically, select Dual mode.

When you use your device in GSM and UMTS networks, multiple data connections can be active at the same time, and access points can share a data connection. In the UMTS network, data connections remain active during voice calls. You can, for example, browse the Web faster than previously possible while simultaneously speaking on the phone.
Cable connection
Install Nokia PC Suite to your computer before you use a cable connection, as Nokia PC Suite automatically installs the USB data cable driver to your computer. You can use the Data transfer mode without installing Nokia PC Suite.
Select Menu > Connect. > Data cbl..
Using a USB data cable, you can connect your device to a compatible PC . Connect the USB data cable to the bottom of the device. When the USB cable is connected, the device asks which connection mode to use. If you have already installed Nokia PC Suite, select PC Suite to use your device as a modem.
To change the device type you normally connect to your device with the data cable, press the scroll key. Select from the following:
•Ask on connection — Select whether you want to be asked for the device type every time you connect the data cable to your device.
•PC Suite — Connect the PC Suite to your device with the data cable, and use your device as a modem.
•Data transfer — Access and transfer data such as music or image files from your computer using the data cable connection. To use the Data transfer mode, make sure that you have not selected USB as a connection type in the Manage connections settings in Nokia PC Suite. Insert a memory card to your device, connect the device to a compatible computer with the USB data cable, and select Data transfer when the device asks which mode is used. In this mode, your device acts as a mass storage device and you can see it as a removable hard drive in your computer. The device will switch into the Offline profile if this is selected. End the connection from the PC (for example, from an Unplug or Eject Hardware wizard in Windows) to avoid damaging the memory card. After you end the connection, the device returns to the profile in which it was before using the data transfer mode.
