To define settings for access points, go to Settings→ Connection→ Access points. A data connection is required to connect to an access point. Your game deck supports three kinds of data connections: • a GSM data call ( ), • GSM high-speed data call ( ), or • packet data (GPRS) connection ( ). There are three different kinds of access points that you can define: MMS access point, browser access point, and Internet access point (IAP). Check with your service provider what kind of an access point is needed for the service you wish to access. You need to set access point settings, if you want to, for example, • send and receive multimedia messages, • send and receive e-mail, • view Browser pages, • download Java™ applications, • use Image upload, or • use your game deck as a modem.
