T-Mobile and Nokia 3650 confusions
I got this wonderful phone ( Nokia 3650 ) recently, and is still
learning its features.
1. T-Mobile sells 2 types of T - zones, one 4.99 per month and ther
other 9.99. Both are unlimited data at 56Kbps. But the service
representative could not tell me what the difference is between the
plans, except for the word "corporate emails". What did she mean by
corporate emails - support for protocols other than pop3, like MS
exchange/outlook, lotus etc ?
2. When I access an ordinary ( *non* wap ) web site in my 3650, it
takes really a long time, though it is supposed to be 56 Kbps. Is this
expected ? Is this because the phone is busy converting the ordinary
html website to WML.
3. The service rep told me that the phone works with about XHTML. But
my understanding is that it uses WML ( equivalent to HTML under http
protocol ), a subset of XHTML. Who is right ?
4. Since the web browser 3650 has is a WML browser, when I access an
ordinary website, where is the html -> wml conversion happening ? Is
it inside the phone, or is T-mobile gateway is doing it on my behalf.
5. Will my website access be fast if I access a pure wap site. Can
somebody provide me the url for a wap site.
6. Does 3650 support cookies based login ( say yahoo mail )
7. When I accessed sites that requires the user to input data ( like
the login screen with mail.yahoo.com ), I could not find a way to
input data. When I pressed the keys, no data showed up in the login
text box. Is this possible at all with Nokia 3650 ?
8. With this 4.95 plan is it possible to use my laptop through the
infrared port, and access internet inside my laptop using full fledged
browser like IE. ( I m *not* asking about using 3650 as a wireless
modem, in conjunction with my own personal ISP )
9. T-mobile also sells a plan for 19.95 per month, for accessing web
in laptop using a wireless pcmcia card. Is it possible to use 3650
with the same plan ( with bluetooth or infrared used to connect the
laptop with the phone ) ( This way I will be able to save money as I
wont be buying the pcmcia card )
10. Is the pcmcia card they sell ( 200 $ or so ) a generic GSM one,
that could be used with similar data services from other companies (
assuming it could be GSM unlocked ). Or is it tied with T-mobile -
useless with any other carrier.
Thanks for reading the long line of questions. Even partial answers
will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
