10. Minibrowser

Minibrowser is a network service. See "Network Services," p. 6.

Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on the mobile internet. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, then you can view the content provided. The web browser on your phone 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 service provider 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 phone, your wireless provider is now your mobile Internet service provider as well.

It is likely that your wireless provider has created a home page and set up your browser to go to this page when you log on to the mobile Internet. Once 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 phone. Normally this is done by your wireless provider once you have subscribed to the feature. Contact your wireless provider if you have problems using the browser.

■Sign on to the mobile Internet

In the standby mode, select Menu > Minibrowser > Connect.

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

6016i specifications

The Nokia 6016i is a discontinued mobile phone that garnered attention for its classic design and reliable performance. Launched in the mid-2000s, it represented a significant era in mobile technology, catering primarily to users seeking functionality over flair.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 6016i is its compact and ergonomic design. It fits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to carry around and use. The phone boasts a 1.8-inch display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, which was quite standard for the time. This display allows users to view their texts and calls clearly, despite the minimal color depth typical of early mobile phones.

In terms of technology, the Nokia 6016i supports GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), allowing users to enjoy reliable network coverage. It operates on the 850/1900 MHz bands, making it particularly suitable for North American markets. The phone's battery life is another key characteristic; equipped with a removable Li-Ion battery, the 6016i can last for several days on a single charge, emphasizing its practicality for daily use.

The Nokia 6016i features a user-friendly interface powered by Nokia's renowned Series 40 platform. This operating system provides basic functionalities like SMS messaging, call management, and an address book capable of storing numerous contacts with multiple numbers each. While it lacks advanced smartphone features, it does support polyphonic ringtones, enabling users to personalize their experience with different sounds.

Additionally, the phone includes an FM radio, allowing users to listen to their favorite stations on the go, a noteworthy addition for music lovers at the time. While it does not offer a camera—a common feature in modern smartphones—it focuses on providing a straightforward calling and texting experience that many users appreciated.

Overall, the Nokia 6016i encapsulates a period when mobile phones were transitioning from basic communication devices to multifunctional gadgets. Its simple yet effective features made it a reliable choice for anyone looking for a device that excels in core functionalities rather than getting lost in the complexities of modern technology. Although it has been surpassed by numerous innovations, the Nokia 6016i remains a nostalgic symbol of mobile phone history.
