1. A method for adjusting settings of an electronic device comprising:
- receiving geo-location based signal data into a microprocessor of the electronic device;
processing said signal data into location data representative of the present geographic location of the electronic device;
adjusting a user defined email message downloading setting of the electronic device, at the electronic device, based on whether the location data indicates that the electronic device is within a stored user defined area, wherein the email message downloading setting indicates a predetermined number of characters of an email to be received at the electronic device; and
downloading the predetermined number of characters of an email message to the electronic device in accordance with the user defined email message downloading setting in the event the device is within the stored user defined area and the email message contains more characters than the predetermined number of characters.
