hi there...
i just wanna know about the WAP service...Is it usefull ???....i mean what is the features that i will get by useing it or what can i do with it....???? And what is the diffrence between the WAP & the GPRS ????

wap = wireless application protocol
- this is the protocol which mobile phones use to access the mobile internet
gprs = general radio packet service
- this is a protocol which enables phones to be "always connected" to the wireless internet unlike common wap which uses a dial up access to a wap provider. this usually results in fast access speed.
wap + gprs greatly enhances the wireless internet experience

Wap is great for when your \"on the move\". You can go online to check this forum like i am now, you can check your emails and download pictures and tones. Gprs is a quick version of wap basicly, you get charged for the data used rather than the time spent on it.

I use it mainly to have something to do when i'm on the bus or in the car (as a passenger ;-)). The difference if you use gprs is that you pay for the data you download and not for the time you are connected and it's usually faster.

With your T68i can also surf WAP 2.0 websites including xhtml, chtml and i-mode.
Nokia phones can't I can tell you that.

Wap is very useful. I have used 30 hours in a month and a half. There is loads to do and there are even chatrooms. I have spent most of the time downloading pictures and screensavers.

thanx for all of u guys......but i sill have one last question
can i check or send emails by using the WAP service..??
Posted by buckle247
You can check your emails with some providers, yahoo, talk21, o2 actually on the wap itself, or other companyies will provide a pop3 server so you can use the email in the messages folder, which is accessed by wap.

It's cheaper to use email thru WAP + GPRS though and bookmark the login page of ur email provider :-D

With everything said about wap,maximize the wap features of your phone.use it to the fullest.you will enjoy more if your phone has gprs.

Yep, Boyi is right.
I bookmark the post-login pages of my Yahoo and BTinternet mail accounts so with one quick click on a short cut I can quickly see if I have mail or not... very handy

Why bother with Wap when the phone has such a nice email client?
