Windows Mobile – Day 1
Posted in Mobile Devices, Windows Mobile on April 22nd, 2009 by Chris – Be the first to commentWe’re getting up to speed on Windows Mobile, step one was to order a device. We wanted a device with lots of power that has a good chance of running the TenDigits Mobile Access software when it is released.
Our wireless provider Rogers, like all wireless providers in Canada have a poor selection of Windows Mobile devices available for sale. We ordered an unlocked Samsung Epix SGH-i907 Smartphone from Expansys and a SIM card with a data plan from Rogers.
After an issue with the phone which Expansys took care of, it was time to get onto the web using internet explorer. This took me far too long, so here are the settings you need to save yourself some time.
Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections >
Advanced tab >Select Networks
Add a new Connection
Call the connection Rogers (or anything else you want to call it) and click ok
Choose Rogers in the drop downs and click ok
You will now have a Rogers connection on your Connections Tasks tab. Click add a new modem connection.
Call the settings Rogers (or anything you want), select the modem Cellular Line(GPRS, 3G) and click Next
Access Point Name: internet.com
User Name: wapuser1
Password: wap
Click finish, and press ok on the next screen.
On the settings screen open the proxy manager
Choose do not use a proxy server and click ok.
You should now be able to browse the internet.
