Internet usage through bluetooth

[gumby]

Hi there.. a lovely site.. oh I've have my XDA2 for 4 months and am still totally impressed by it, so much so, I got "her" one as well!!!

I am having a few problems.. mostly related to my newbie status!

1. Can I use the XDA2 to view web pages, using bluetooth to access my pc's broadband connection.

2. If this is only possible with a wifi card: is it possible to get one that allows me to use my existing 512mb sd card at the same time

3. My better half's XDA2 keeps connecting to GPRS to update new stories it has already stored in memory from USB docking (Journal Bar)

I'll leave you with these for now.. Thanks a bundle!!

If you have BT on your PC then it's no problem to browse the web, just set-up Active-Sync over BT and then sync and then you can launch IE on the XDA and browse away!

well it is possible but i do think they are making some wifi cards with onboard flash ram on aswell otherwise you could get the backpack and use CF flash ram

if you go into today in settings and choose journalbar you can set how often it should go online up update this may be a good idear since otherwise it will update stock info every 3mins
