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.

TIP For additional information on features supported by Internet Explorer Mobile, visit microsoft.com.

DID YOU KNOW? The Security certificates and 128-bit SSL strong encryption enable you to browse secure sites, such as online shopping, banking, and email. Remember, some secure sites also require a specific browser and may not work with Internet Explorer Mobile. Ask the organization for an alternate web address (URL) that is compatible with Internet Explorer Mobile.

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.

DID YOU KNOW? You can also start a web search from your Today screen by selecting the Web search field, entering the item you want to find, and pressing Center on the 5-way.

1Press Start and select Internet Explorer.

TIP If your Today screen is displayed, press Internet (right softkey) to open Internet Explorer Mobile.
