Omnia, WM 6.1
I have used Activesync but the connection is bad. Sometimes I cannot open some sites, other times - I can open them. Weird...
I am trying something else: I went to Settings - Connections, I added new connection, and under "add new modem connection" -> "select a modem" there is Bluetooth! What is this, can I use my PC as a bluetooth modem?

Rudegar, thanks for the link, but the following part does not apply to my WM 6.1-based device. Where can I find these things in WM6.1:
# Tap the Bluetooth icon and tap the link saying <u>Bluetooth Manager</u>.
# Tap the starred Bluetooth icon.
# Tap the Join a personal network.
# Select Join a personal network option and tap Next.
# After your Connection Wizard sees your computer, select it and select Finish so that your HTC Creates a shortcut for this connection named Network with '?InsertYourComputersNameHere'. Please note that there is no need for a secure/encrypted connection.
# Double tap or hold and select Connect to the Network with '?InsertYourComputersNameHere' to make a connection with your access point.
# At this point or later, your HTC will ask you if this connection is a Work or Internet connection. I have chosen this as my Work connection.

On my device there is neither "Bluetooth Manager", nor "Join a personal network"

Meanwhile I am trying something else: http://media.snimka.bg/2551/011357944-big.jpg
