The network receiver is a GSM Quadband, capable of guaranteeing optimal coverage in any area of the world, also thanks to UMTS support. Internet browsing is really fast, with an HSDPA modem for packet data traffic. With the HTML browser it will feel like opening pages just like with ADSL at home. To exchange files with other compatible devices, Bluetooth is used instead. Or even the USB 2.0 data cable to sync directly with a PC.
