Default Lobster Questions
I have a Lobster with Windows Vista (Mobile Device Center 6.1)

Should it be possible by default (or is it possible at all) to surf the internet via Bluetooth / USB cable rather than GPRS?

I can Sync via Bluetooth fine.

Thanks for your help!

Default browsing via bluetooth or usb
You may have already got this working, but I only just saw your post.

The answer is yes, if your active-sync works actually the USB connection should connect you to the internet through the PC. Bluetooth is a bit more difficult since Microsoft has never understood bluetooth properly (compare with the Nokia PC suite where it takes about 2 clicks to set up!). Anyway after an hour or so of frustration I was able to browse over b/t on my Lobster.
Just for fun I installed Fring and was also able to use Skype and SIP the
same way.
Now just need to unlock the phone!

Good luck.

Mike.
