Use Pocket Internet Explorer to view web or WAP pages:
• During synchronization with your computer, download your favorite 
links and mobile favorites that are stored in the Mobile Favorites 
subfolder in Internet Explorer on your computer.
• Connect to an Internet service provider (ISP) or network and browse 
the web. For more information on connecting to the Internet, see 
Getting Connected on page 99.
When the device is connected to an ISP or network, you can also 
download files and programs from the Internet or intranet.
To switch to Pocket Internet Explorer, tap the Start button and tap 
Internet Explorer.
Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your computer, 
you can download mobile favorites to your device. Synchronizing mobile 
favorites downloads web content to your device so that you can view pages 
while you are disconnected from your ISP and computer. Use the Internet 
Explorer plug-in installed with Microsoft ActiveSync
® to create mobile 
favorites quickly.
To create a mobile favorite on your computer and download it to your 
device:
1On your computer, open Internet Explorer and click Tools→ Create 
Mobile Favorite.
2To change the link name, enter a new name in the Name box.
3Specify an update schedule next to Update (optional).
4Click OK. Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the page 
to your computer.
5In Internet Explorer on the computer, right-click the mobile favorite 
and click Properties.

6On the Download tab, specify the number of levels deep you want to 
download. To conserve device memory, go only one level deep.
7Synchronize your device and computer. Mobile favorites that are 
stored in the Mobile Favorites folder in Internet Explorer are 
downloaded to your device.
If you did not specify an update schedule in step 3, you will need to 
manually download content to keep the information updated on your 
computer and device. Before synchronizing with your device, click Tools 
in Internet Explorer on your computer and click Synchronize. The date in 
the Last Updated column was the last time content was downloaded to 
the computer. You can manually download content, if necessary.
 NOTE: You can add an icon to the Internet Explorer toolbar for 
creating mobile favorites. In Internet Explorer on your computer, 
click View→To o l b a r s, and then click Customize.
Conserving Memory
Mobile favorites take up storage memory on your device. To minimize the 
amount of memory used:
• Turn off pictures and sounds or stop some mobile favorites from 
being downloaded to the device in the Favor ites settings in the 
ActiveSync options. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.
• Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer 
on the computer, right-click the mobile favorite you want to change 
and click Properties. On the Download tab, specify 0 or 1 for the 
number of linked pages you want to download.
Mobile Favorites Folder
Only items stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder (in the Favorites 
folder) in Internet Explorer on your computer are synchronized with your 
device. The folder was created automatically when you installed 
ActiveSync.
