Abstract
A method of operating a mobile terminal comprising a local memory and a screen is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of receiving a first component of a document over a first communication channel, receiving a second component of the document over a second communication channel, and combining the first and second components of the document at the mobile terminal. In an alternative embodiment, the first component of the document is received during a first synchronization session, and the second component of the document is received during a second synchronization session.

A method of operating a mobile terminal having first and second distinct communication interfaces, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving a first component of a document over a first communication channel via the first communication interface;
- (b) receiving a second component of the document over a second communication channel via the second communication interface;
- (c) displaying the first component of the document before completion of the receipt of the second component of the document;
- and
- (d) combining the first and second components of the document at the mobile terminal.
A mobile terminal comprising:
- (a) a screen;
- (b) a local memory;
- (c) first and second distinct communication interfaces;
- and
- (d) a terminal controller for:
- receiving a first component of a document over a first communication channel via the first communication interface;
- receiving a second component of the document over a second communication channel via the second communication interface;
- displaying the first component of the document before completion of the receipt of the second component of the document;
- and
- combining the first and second components of the document at the mobile terminal.
A computer program embodied on a computer readable storage medium executed in a mobile terminal having first and second distinct communication interfaces, the computer program comprising code segments for:
- (a) receiving a first component of a document over a first communication channel via the first communication interface;
- (b) receiving a second component of the document over a second communication channel via the second communication interface;
- (c) displaying the first component of the document before completion of the receipt of the second component of the document;
- and
- (d) combining the first and second components of the document at the mobile terminal.
