Connectivity

You can connect the phone to a compatible device via infrared or Bluetooth
connection. You can also define the settings for EGPRS dial-up connections. Note
that the Bluetooth and infrared connections cannot be active at the same time.

Bluetooth wireless technology

The phone supports Bluetooth wireless technology which allows you to connect
the phone to a compatible device within 10 metres. The Bluetooth connection can
be subject to interference from obstructions such as walls or other electronic
devices.

This phone is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 1.1 which supports the
following Bluetooth profiles: Serial Port Profile, Dial-up Networking Profile,
Object Push Profile, File Transfer Profile and Headset Profile. Handsfree Profile is
supported by Specification 1.0 and SIM Access Profile by version 0.95.

To ensure interoperability between Bluetooth devices, use Nokia-approved
accessories for this model. Check with the manufacturers of other Bluetooth
devices to determine their compatibility with this phone. In some countries, there
may be restrictions on using Bluetooth devices. Check with your local authorities.

The SIM Access Profile allows you to connect to compatible devices, such as the
Nokia car enhancement RAN 610. When the SIM Access Profile is active, the
phone is disconnected from the GSM network, and thus, all phone functions are
deactivated.

Note: Using Bluetooth consumes the battery and the phone's operating time will
be reduced. Be careful not to let it run in the background when performing other
operations with your phone.

based network.

EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS), also known as EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global
Evolution) is similar to GPRS but it enables faster connection. For more
information on the availability of EGPRS and data transfer speed, contact your
network operator or service provider.

The applications that may use EGPRS are multimedia, chat and text messaging,
browsing sessions, e-mail, remote OMA Data Syncronization, Java application
downloading and the PC dial-up (for example, Internet and e-mail).

Before you can use EGPRS technology:

• Contact your network operator or service provider for availability and

subscription to the EGPRS service.

• Save the EGPRS settings for each of the applications used over EGPRS.

For information on pricing, contact your network operator or service provider.

Note that when you have selected GPRS as a data bearer, the phone uses EGPRS
instead of GPRS if this is available in the network. You cannot choose between
EGPRS and GPRS but for some applications you may be able to select either GPRS
or

GSM data

(CSD, Circuit Switched Data).

the EGPRS network remains.

If you receive a call or a text message, or make a call during a GPRS
connection, the indicator

will be shown on the top right of the display to

indicate that the EGPRS connection has been suspended (put on hold).

The GPRS and EGPRS connections are indicated by the same indicators.

• If you select

When needed

, the EGPRS registration and connection are

established when required by an application using GPRS and closed when you
end the application.

Note that your phone supports three simultaneous EGPRS connections. For
example, depending on the network, you can simultaneously browse xHTML
pages, receive multimedia messages and have an ongoing PC dial-up connection.
