How to set up push internet pages on the HTC Touch Pro2

Among the functions offered on the HTC Touch Pro2 is the facility to receive push internet pages, enabling users to get regularly updated web pages on their phone instantly  without having to wait, or navigate the browser to find favourite sites.

The HTC Touch Pro is a powerful Windows Mobile smartphone that offers a raft of useful features for both business and leisure. It's well connected too, with high speed data connectivity enabling users to use online services and browse the internet swiftly and reliably wherever they are, via Wi-Fi or HSPA mobile data connections.

The push internet option for the HTC Touch Pro2's Opera Mobile web browser enables  users to set how frequently they would like a favourite web page updated, so that it's pre-delivered and so available instantly when the user chooses to view it from the phone's Internet  tab.

Users can also schedule the time and days of the week when a particular Push web page is updated. It's a useful feature that adds to the HTC Touch Pro2's overall online user experience.

Here's how to do it...
