The device has a processor, a display (20), information input means and a memory for loading files and application programs. At least an operating system and a web browser according to the invention have been loaded into the memory. The browser program includes means for switching the display to two different display modes. The content area (30) reserved for reproducing web pages and at least one task bar (32, 33) are visible on the display in the first display mode, and only the content area, which fills up essentially the whole display, is visible on the display in the second display mode. The means mentioned in the invention for setting the display comprise a graphical element (44) permanently placed in the content area, into which graphical element the display mode switching operation has been integrated. The graphical element is made to change its appearance in a way that it has a first appearance when the display is in the first display mode, a second appearance when the display is in the second display mode, and a third appearance when the loading of web pages is in progress. In addition, the third appearance of the graphical element contains a verbal or pictorial indication that the loading of web pages is in progress, and an indication of the stage of the web page loading process.
