Can a smartphone access files via network?

T-Mobile Dash WM6:
File Explorer doesn't have "open path", so I can't put an UNC path there. Resco Explorer doesn't have any option that I can find either.
Entering an UNC path in Pocket Internet Explorer gives the error: "This URL is not properly formatted..."
I can browse the web page for my router and printer via Pocket IE.
Any suggestions?

Compare versions of Windows Mobile

I see here that UNC networking should work for smartphones, however, this doesn't help my situation because I have nowhere to put an UNC path that works. Anyone out there with WM6 for phones without a touch screen? What is your experience?

However, here I find a mention that negates what the Microsoft website claims:

If you used a Pocket PC (Professional Edition) instead of a Smartphone (Standard Edition), you might have been able to use File Explorer’s Open Path function to access a shared directory on a network. But, honestly, that has been an iffy proposition too in my experience.

Confirmed again: no access to network files with WM6 standard/smartphone edition, or at least the version that comes with T-Mobile Dash:
