Phones have different capabilities with Internet access ranging from basic 2G GPRS access (a few kilobytes a second) to full Wi-Fi access of several megabytes a second.

If you want to know what speed you phone supports have a look on GSMArena and put your phones name into the search box.

For example here's the Nokia N93i. As you can see it supports full GPRS, EDGE, 3G and Wi-Fi which would give you plenty of options for downloading.

Also, remember that GPRS costs can vary between networks so always check your tariff. You can get unlimited GPRS access with some networks so it's worth checking.

For example if you turn your phone 90 degrees clockwise and take a picture, choose 90 degrees. If you turn it 90 anti-clockwise then choose 270 degrees.

If you're unsure just send a test photo to see.

Memory Expansion

Many new phones come with a memory expansion slot to put various memory cards into. These are usually MMC, RS-MMC, SD cards, Compact Flash Card etc. Adding a memory card to your phone is a bit like adding another hard drive to your computer - it gives you a lot of extra disk space to put stuff on.

It's recommended to install Mutoview Portable onto the memory card if you have the option, so you have more storage space to play with.

You can check how much space you have available by selecting [System] on the main menu.

See this for an example of memory card usage
