Finally - our own forum!

I've had my dual for about 4 days now, and have been looking at various ways to connect to the internet in the abscence of wifi. My network providers data rates are pretty high, so i was wondering if anyone has been able to browse the net through their PC's internet connection via bluetooth? I've heard of the activesync route, but I haven't been able to get that to work either.

Failing that, how are the rest of you connecting to the net?

I am connecting not at all. Haven't had enough time for giving it a try, because there were some hundred contacts to move from old phone to new phone, one by one via Bluetooth is p.i.t.a.

Anyway, i'd use wifi on my nokia 9500 :cool:

Best

I'm 24/7 connected via 3G.

But when connecting activesync through bluetooth, this is working also...

i'm using XP, and my laptop has bluetooth built in. I've tried getting it to work via Activesync but not having any luck as my Dual can't see the activesync service enabled when connected to the laptop. Did you have to configure specific ports just for activesync?

Not released yet, but possibly this'll help when it is: Spectec SDW-823 (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=140798)

Not sure when that will be released, but will keep an eye out for it.

At work we have a wifi network we can use, and I had this plan to use an old Ipaq/PDA as a wifi/bluetooth gateway for my Touch Dual. The way I could see this working is to connect to wifi via the Ipaq, and 'share' it's internet over bluetooth. Even if I could do this, i'm not sure the dual could connect to a Bluetooth PAN network natively and share it's connection..
