1. Which features does WAP 1.2.1 support
in the Nokia
8910i?
Nokia 8910i integrates the latest WAP features with support
for WAP release 1.2.1. It enables the phone to receive
"service message indicators" where a WAP page
alert is displayed with a convenient link to a WAP site.
This makes push-based mobile services such as stock alerts
or continuous newscasts possible.
WAP release 1.2.1 also enables the Nokia 8910i to store
cookies, much in the same way as cookies are stored in
a PC web browser. The next time you visit a WAP site,
the phone is able to recall what information you specifically
looked at and display the same window.
The Nokia 8910i incorporates WTAI (Wireless Telephony
Application Interface) Public Library, which enables you
to make a phone call from a WAP site. With this application,
it is no longer necessary to terminate a WAP session to
make a phone call. Instead you can temporarily interrupt
it to make the call, after which you automatically return
to the site, for example when browsing a car rental site
to reserve a car.
With vCard support it is possible to automatically save
contact information, such as a business card listed on
a WAP site, to the phone's memory. Similarly, vCal support
allows you to save a calendar appointment from a WAP site
to the phone's calendar.
2. Does the Nokia
8910i have high speed data functionality?
The Nokia 8910i has a built-in multi slot high-speed data
modem and thus there is no need for a PCMCIA card or PC
software to send/receive data. Connection from the phone
to the PC can be made via infrared or Bluetooth.
3. What is
the speed for HSCSD in the Nokia 8910i?
With HSCSD more than one time slot is allocated in the
network to allow faster transmission speed by low extra
investment of the network operator. An increasing range
of cellular operators are now offering HSCSD thus allowing
use of different configurations on top of the 14.4 kbps
available with a single time slot:
2+2 time slots for receiving 28.8 kbps & sending
28.8 kbps, for instance for fast e-mail handling
- 3+1 time slots for receiving 43.2 kbps & sending
14.4 kbps, for instance for fast Internet downloads
