I finally was able to connect to the internet with my new Smartphone.
Now I can't disconnect without turning it off and restarting. Please,
where's the disconnect?

A very embarrassed,

Bill

Have you tried briefly pressing the red call button?
Which Smartphone do you use?

Verizon/Pantech PN-820. Yes, I tried brifly press int the red stop
button. It was the first thing I tried, it just didn't work. Seems
like it should. I also didn't find anything that allowed me to "close"
Internet Explorer.

Thanks for your help.

Bill

On my Cingular 8525, to break the Internet connection I can touch the icon
next to the signal strength bars. A 'connectivity' window appears to
disconnect from the Internet, connect to Wi-Fi or change settings.

If you are using a Smartphone without touch screen, can you rotate the
thumbwheel selection window to that icon and select?

It doesn't have a touchscreen, it's a flip phone. I cannot get to the
top bar where the signal strength icon resides. I have noticed however
that after a short time Zs appear with the icon. I assume that means
it is snoozing and not on air time. It seems to disconnect on its own
after that. But I'm not sure if I did something to cause the
disconnect, or if it did it on its own.

I appreciate your help. I would like to find a definite disconnect,
but . . . .

On my PPC, I press the red "End" key twice, holding it down the second
time until it disconnects.

Oh, I see regarding the device. Well, we don't have it over here in Europe,
so I cannot test it and manufactures are not forced to implement the "red
button" way while most implement it to hang up anyway. Looks like Pantech
missed it.
Regarding the "close" functionality: Windows Mobile manages all the storage
space itself, there is no inbuilt close functionality for non of the
original Microsoft applications. However, there are a couple of 3rd party
appliacations available, just do a Google search for "Task manager Windows
Mobile Smartphone".

Using Windows Mobile 5.1.195 on a Virgin Lobster 700 (HTC Monet), here's how
I do it.

Home -> Start -> More -> More -> Task Manager
Scroll to Internet Explorer
Menu -> Stop

No task manager on this one. Good ole Verizon.

icons on your verizon interface

there are also 3rd party task managers you cn install that are simpler

Sorry to hear that!

Not that the Virgin Lobster implementation is perfect. No SMTP server
provided by the Virgin network, so, if using the messaging application, the
user can retrieve email and read it, but not reply to it. The workaround is
to open the browser and use webmail. <sigh>
