All right folks this
is my documentation on getting my Palm IIIx working with my T39m,
a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) phone with Wireless Access Protocol
(WAP) and Bluetooth capability. This is a GSM (900/1800/1900)
phone that handles data better. Older GSM phones handle data through the
GSM network at a measely 9600 baud.
Here are the steps:
1. Turn on the GPRS
with your phone company. In my case, M1.
2. Follow the instructions
from M1 to configure your T39 and Palm. They called in Mobilenet.
Not to be confused with the WAP service, MI World. Note you can
run WAP over GPRS, which makes surfing with hand phone more user friendly.

Normally, you do not have configure the WAP portion for your handphone.
The link below will guide you on how to configure the phone and Palm for WAP
surfing.

3. Configure your choice of browser for your Palm.
I have used Palmscape. You can use the configuration guide available
here. Note the
rest of web contains info about Starhub's trial GPRS service. This
is quite old and may not be correct.
4. Enter your webpage URL into Palmscape and you are
done !!!
Alternatively, you
can download the Eudora Internetsuite 2.1 from Eudora. The browser
component, EudoraWeb works perfectly fine. There are no graphics
though. But it makes surfing much more snappier.
