Browsing the Web on Your Phone
Just like the Web browser you use on your desktop computer, nweb lets you
browse the Web on your phone in several ways:
• Visit a Web page by entering its Web address, also called a URL (Uniform
Resource Locator).
• Visiting another Web page by selecting a link.
• Go back to the pages you already visited by using the Back and
Forward functions.
The following sections describe how to use the browsing features of nweb.

Loading a Web Page

nweb allows you to enter a shorter version of a Web address if the protocol is
http://. An example would be http://www.google.com (or www.google.com) can
be entered just as google.com (you can drop the www as well). However, you
must enter other protocols, such as https:// (HyperText Transfer Protocol -
Secure), the protocol for access to secure Web servers.
