Access The Internet On A Palm Treo 680

Though many cellular phones and other mobile devices allow limited Internet access while on the go, the Palm Treo 680 smartphone takes mobile connectivity to a whole new level. Using the Treo 680 you can browse the Internet, check your email and even pay bills online without needing access to a computer. Follow these steps to see how easy it is to access the Internet from anywhere using your Palm Treo 680.


Instructions


1. Turn on your Palm Treo 680 smartphone. You should make sure that the battery is charged, as browsing the Internet can use a significantly larger amount of power than having your phone in standby mode or sending text or video messages.


2. Access the main menu on your phone. You will see a number of icons on the screen, each of which is labeled. Scroll through the menu until you see an icon of a sphere with an arrow wrapped around it, labeled Web. Push this icon to access the Treo 680's Blazer web browser (remember, the screen on the Treo 680 is touch-sensitive so that you can literally press the icon with your stylus to select it).


3. Once the Treo connects to the Internet with the Blazer web browser, you can select the destination bar at the top of the screen and type in the web address that you want to go to using the full alpha-numeric keypad on your phone. You should be able to access just about any website on the Treo 680 that you would be able to access from a home computer, though some websites may require plugins which aren't pre-installed in the Blazer browser.


4. In addition to being able to access webmail applications using the Treo 680's Blazer web browser, you can also configure your Treo to allow you to check your email without the need for webmail. Set this up using the email option on your Treo 680 just like you would any pop3 email program such as Outlook or Thunderbird.
