  NETWORK SERVICES
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of 
the features in this device depend on features in the wireless network to function. 
These Network Services may not be available on all networks or you may have to 
make specific arrangements with your service provider before you can utilize 
Network Services. Your service provider may need to give you additional 
instructions for their use and explain what charges will apply. Some networks may 
have limitations that affect how you can use Network Services. For instance, some 
networks may not support all language-dependent characters and services.
Your service provider may have requested that certain features be disabled or not 
activated in your device. If so, they will not appear on your device menu. Contact 
your service provider for more information.
  SHARED MEMORY
The following features in this phone may share memory: contacts, text and 
multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do notes, 
and Java™ games and applications. Use of one or more of these features may 
reduce the memory available for the remaining features sharing memory. For 
example, saving many images or bookmarks may use all of the available memory. 
Your phone may display a message that the memory is full when you try to use a 
shared memory feature. In this case, delete some of the information or entries 
stored in the shared memory features before continuing. Some of the features, 
such as, contacts, text and multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in 
gallery, calendar, to-do notes, and Java games and applications may have a certain 
amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the amount of memory 
shared with other features.
