Some common instructions/tips
- You must make sure you have a working GPRS connection in your mobile.
If you have more than one internet connection and you have to chooce one typically you dont want "MMS" or "WAP" ,
more probably one named 'internet" or "web" will do the job. - Make sure you have a charged battery. Bluetooth and GPRS can drain battery
very quickly.
From some tests i made on a Nokia 6680 the battery lasted 9 hours. - Make sure you have bluetooth active before running the program.
