Your phone has a built-in browser you can use to connect to selected services on the mobile Internet. Many wireless mobile Internet access features are network-dependent, and some features may not be available. Contact your service provider for more information.

TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND

A technology called Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is to mobile devices what the World Wide Web (WWW) is to personal computers. The mobile community began developing WAP several years ago to provide access to the Internet for mobile users.

Today, most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages even contain low-resolution graphics, or require data input. Your service provider and others are free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the sites are as variable as web pages on the Internet.

Internet content on your personal computer is called a “web page.” Internet content on your mobile phone is called a “page,” “WAP card,” or a “Deck of cards.” If the WAP site designer has made a page too large to load on the phone, it will not be displayed in the browser. You will see an error message saying, "File too big to be loaded" and then, the browser will return to the previous page.

Note: Since the phone display and memory capacity are much smaller than in a computer, Internet content is displayed differently. You may not be able to view all the details on some Internet pages.

SERVICE PROVIDER

Because mobile Internet content is designed to be viewed from your phone, your service provider is now your wireless mobile Internet service provider as well.

Note: It is likely that your service provider has created a home page and set up your WAP 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.

N-3120, N-3100 specifications

The Nokia N-3100 and N-3120 are part of Nokia's iconic series of mobile phones that emerged in the early 2000s, a time when mobile technology was rapidly evolving, and design aesthetics were changing dramatically. These devices marked a notable shift in the mobile landscape, bringing together a blend of functionality, style, and affordability.

The Nokia N-3100 was known for its compact, lightweight design, featuring a sleek exterior that comfortably fit in the palm of your hand. Weighing just 83 grams, it was easy to carry, making it a popular choice among individuals who valued portability. The device boasted a monochrome screen, which, while basic by today’s standards, provided clarity for its time, displaying crisp text and simple graphics. The phone’s hallmark feature was its customizable ringtones and screensavers, allowing users to personalize their devices to reflect their personalities.

On the other hand, the Nokia N-3120 built on the strengths of its predecessor by introducing a color display, a groundbreaking feature that significantly enhanced the user experience. With a vibrant 65,000 colors on its screen, users could now enjoy a richer visual experience while using applications, games, and accessing multimedia content. The N-3120 also included improved connectivity options, such as support for GPRS, which allowed users to browse the internet and access basic online features at a faster rate than before.

Both models were equipped with the Nokia Series 40 platform, offering a user-friendly interface and access to a variety of applications, including games, productivity tools, and messaging services. In terms of messaging, both phones supported SMS and MMS, allowing users to send text messages and multimedia messages, including photos and sounds, which was relatively advanced for their time.

Battery life was another strong aspect of both models, with the N-3100 and N-3120 capable of delivering several days of usage on a single charge, a key benefit for users who relied on their phones throughout the day.

In conclusion, the Nokia N-3100 and N-3120 represented a significant step forward in mobile technology during their time. With the combination of portability, customizable features, and enhanced display options, they played a vital role in attracting a diverse range of consumers and solidifying Nokia's reputation as a leader in the mobile phone industry. These devices remain a nostalgic reminder of a pivotal era in the evolution of mobile communications.
