Claims21
A system for displaying data transfer rates on a display comprising:
- a system for displaying the transfer rates in an alphanumeric mode or an alternative graphics mode;
- and
- a system for switching between displaying the transfer rates in the alphanumeric mode and the graphics mode.
In a mobile radio communication device having a display and a transceiver for transmitting and receiving data, the improvement comprising:
- means for displaying a data transfer rate of data with the transceiver on the display in an alphanumeric format.
A mobile radio communication device comprising:
- a transceiver;
