Ah, I see. Back up a few steps.

First, I'll assume that you've been able to join wireless networks. If that's not the case, send another note, and we'll back up a little more.

To access the browser, press the "Home" key on the keyboard, and then the "Menu" key. You should see a menu pop up on the right hand of the screen. Push the "down" arrow on the directional pad (the lower segment of the squarish ring at the far right of the keyboard) until you see the word "Experimental" underlined. Then press the square at the center of the directional pad (this is equivalent to "Enter.") The Web browser should be the first choice, and "launch browser" should be underlined. If not, use that directional pad again until it is, and then press "Enter" again.

You can use the pad to select any of the pre-existing bookmarks (press Enter for the one you like.

Once you have a page loaded, you can directional-pad up to the top (URL entry field), press the "Del" button on the keyboard and enter your new URL with the keyboard, and "Enter" when done.

Experiment around with it for a while, and then come back here and ask more questions!

Update: I forgot the easy way. When in the browser, just push the "Menu" button again. From this menu you can select "Enter URL," "Add Bookmark" or "access Bookmarks." that's a lot easier.

And if you need to enter a number as part of your URL, they are the "Alt" keys on the top row of letters. For 1, press the "Alt" button, then "Q." 2 is "Alt W," etc. all the way to 0 is "Alt P." Or, you can press the"Sym" key to get access to numbers and other characters like @, parentheses, ampersand, question mark...)
