Your phone supports a microSD™ memory card, which is used for media content. This

type of card can also be used as a portable memory card with other compatible devices.

Formatting the memory card

You can format the memory card in your phone, for example, to free up memory. This

means that you erase all data on the card.

All content on the memory card gets erased when you format it. Make sure you make backups

of everything you want to save before formatting the memory card. To back up your content,

you can copy it to your computer. For more information, refer to the chapter Connecting your

phone to a computer on page 89.

Internet and messaging settings

To send text and multimedia messages and to access the Internet, you must have a

2G/3G mobile data connection and the correct settings. There are different ways to get

these settings:

preinstalled on your phone. You can then start using the Internet and send messages

right away.

•In some cases you will get the option to download Internet and messaging settings the

first time you turn on your phone. It is also possible to download these settings later from

the Settings menu.

•You can manually add and change Internet and network settings in your phone at any

time. Contact your network operator for detailed information on your Internet and

messaging settings.
