The device cache stores temporary Internet files such as WAP pages and files (such as graphics). The device allocates up to 800 KB for the cache. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already seen because the browser can open them from your device memory rather than the Web.
To clear your cache, scroll to highlight the Clear Cache button, then press the wheel to select it. Note that this may take a while. You'll be notified when the cache has been cleared.
Many WAP sites save information to your system (the service in this case) so sites can "remember" information you've entered (including which pages you've visited within their site) for future reference. This information is stored in a small text file, called a cookie. Know that only the information you type while visiting a Web site can be stored. Also, know that the presence of a cookie does not allow any external Web site access to other information on your device. A WAP site can only read the cookie that it created.
If you want to delete all the cookies stored for your account on the service, scroll to highlight the Clear Cookies button, then press the wheel to select it.
When you receive a URL in an email or IM message, you can go to the URL quickly by selecting the link (in the case of an email message) or by selecting Links > Go To from the menu (in the case of an IM message). The browser that opens the URL can be either the WAP or Web Browser. By default, the Web Browser is used, but if you want the WAP Browser to open by default, then make that selection here:
then select Settings.
when you're finished with your settings. If you don't want to save the changes, press Cancel
