    You get a regular Google page with some special options for wireless users.

    Thanks for the tip. That is a great feature.

    There are many ways to do it...most involve going to another page that supports finding a URL.

    Personally, I find it far easier just to have my own WAP homepage on my webhost and have a file right there, available from the main menu.

    Here's the code for a page that will take you to any URL. The LG phone's browser will remember past searches, so when you enter a couple of letters, it will come up and you can select it easily.

    Cut and paste the code into a text editor. Save this as url.wml or whatever you like. Point to it from your homepage.

    --------------cut and paste between the dotted lines-------------------

    <wml>
    <card id="card2" TITLE="URL Hound">
    <p align="center">Go To URL...</p>
    <p>Enter URL: <input name="url" value="http://" format="*m"/></p>
    <p align="center"><anchor>Request $(url:n)<go href="$(url:n)"/></anchor></p>
    </card>
    </wml>

    Hit the Menu Button then "0" and then all numbers for service code are "0". Then "8" and "4". change your homepage now.

    I found out how...It's not very intuitive, but you can hit "Message->9" and it opens a browser, then at the top click "Search" and it'll give you a choice "Open URL".

    The lame part: You have to go back to "VWZ Home" to get the search button. It's not always present on sites you visit.

    I have the 6000 and there is a Mobile Web option on the menu. I would imagine there is a similar option on the 8100

    How do I open a url with my LG VX8100?

    All I can seem to access is the lame Verizon "Get it Now" crap web sites.
