FAQs
| How can I connect the P910? | It's possible to use your P910 to connect to the Internet to browse the web via the built-in browser, check your POP or IMAP email, and look up WAP sites. See our pages on P900 connectivity, and using WAP on a P900 |
| How do I get my email? | |
| How do I connect my P910 to my PC? | The P910 can connect to a PC via Bluetooth , infrared or by cable. Here is a summary of how to connect your P910 to your PC:
Files received on the P910 can be found in the 'Beamed' folder of the Messaging application. |
| Help with Bluetooth |  The P910 has built-in support for Bluetooth for wireless file transfer, copying files to and from a PC, and beaming of business cards and other files to other mobile phone/PDA users. Access to the Bluetooth settings screen is done via the menu's Control panel option, and the "Bluetooth" option under the 'Connections' tab. For more on Bluetooth, see our dedicated Bluetooth page. |

| How do I install software without IR or Bluetooth? | If you don't have the ability to beam files to the P910 via Bluetooth or infrared (either from another handheld device or from a PC), then you may wish to purchase an IRDA or Bluetooth adapter for your PC (this means you'll be able to install software, backup and synchronise your P910). |
| ZIP files | If you're trying to install a file with a .ZIP extension, note that this means it has been compressed (to save space or reduce download time).To get to the file, you'll need to unzip it first. You can do this with a PC application such as WinZip, or on the phone itself using the ZipMan application. |
| Can I use the P910 as an MP3 player? | Yes. The P910 supports playback of MP3, WAV, AMR and AU file formats. Audio can be loaded onto Memory Stick Duo cards as required |
| Hotmail and AOL access? | Hotmail and AOL use proprietary email systems,
as opposed to the more common POP email systems - this makes it tricky to access mail on a mobile device. For email on the move,
consider using a standard POP3 provider such as BT Yahoo (see setup details) that offers free email accounts that can be configured on mobile phone email programs.
For more help, see our Connected? page |
| Can I use the P910 in the States? | Yes. The P910 is a tri-band phone operating on EGSM900/1800 (Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific), and GSM1900 (USA, Canada, South America). There should be no problem using the P910 with network operators in these countries. Roaming restrictions from your network operator may prevent use of some services in other countries. |

need to receive faxes, but don't have access to a fax machine, take
a look at efax.com. They'll give you a fax number, and forward faxes direct to your email account as an attachment. You can then use the messaging application to retrieve
your faxes on the move. You can also use this service to send faxes. |

| Alternative connectivity software | Rather than the software that came as standard with the phone, there's a rather useful third-party application called Oxygen II- This application supports Contacts, Calendar, Messaging and file management. |

| How do share my pictures with others? | Once you have taken a picture on your phone, there are three ways to get the files from your phone to other people or computers:
|
| What's my phone's serial number? | Enter '*#06#' as if it were a phone number, to get your handset's serial number (known as the IMEI) - useful to keep a note of in case your phone is stolen. You may also need this number when registering certain types of software. |
| Who's calling? | A great feature of UIQ is the ability to add a thumbnail to a contact. Take a picture of a friend with the camera, then open the person's contact, edit it, and add the image as a thumbnail. The photos are in JPG format, so you can use images from digital cameras or scanned images. Build up a mini-library of pictures, and get a name and face to appear when a call comes in. Mobile phones identify callers using a service called CLI. For more details, see our CLI page If you're finding that only the person's number is being displayed even though you have the name entered in Contacts, this is probably because you have the number in the phone twice (perhaps once on the phone memory and once on the SIM card - in this case, the phone doesn't know which entry to use. |
| Can I use MSN messaging? |  The P910 doesn't come with an instant messaging MSN client built-in, but third-party MSN clients are available. Take a look at handango.com for the range, or take a look at the jMSN for UIQ application. |
