It's claimed in the SE whitepaper for K800:
"Bluetooth™ PAN
Connect the phone to Internet using Bluetooth™"
Either that's phenomonenly bad grammer, or K800 can use the PAN profile to connect to the internet

right...yes from what i've heard the Bluetooth PAN service (not sure what it stands for), is for using the computers internet connection (broadband(adsl/cable etc) or dial-up(however you get it
)) to use for browsing the net on your phone.
my question is, is it possible to add this feature to older
phones, or smartphones running symbian/palm os(not really interested in windows smartphones tbh
)?

EDIT - the SE Java SDK route does work on the older phones...dunno about k800i yet though

Personal Area Network. not possible to enable on older phones. It doesn't matter whether it's a smartphone or not. It either has PAN or it doesn't.
btw, I'd more than happily use a WM5.0 device, have better software to choose from, and have a smaller device (seen xda mini?).

get what to work? Com ports has nothing to do with bluetooth PAN.
If you are talking about PAN, you need a dongle that supports PAN (most) and you need to connect the PAN service on the copmputer to the PAN service on your phone. Nothing to do with com ports. Com ports are for setting up virtual serial connections.

sorry, when following this link
http://users.skynet.be/yozy/tutorials/k750-1.htm
it asks to enter the com port your bluetooth dongal is connected too and then change the baud rate.
looks like my post is over most peoples heads, unless some one cares to share some info???????

it's not over our heads mate. You asked about a K800 connection to the internet through the computer. Well as it happens there are two methods. The device explorer method in the link you posted, and the method that uses Bluetooth PAN. Both should be possible with K800. The Bluetooth PAN method is likely to be a lot simpler to use than the Device Explorer method, so you should be looking at this method first. The bluetooth PAN method has nothing to do with the device explorer method so com ports aren't relavent.
HOWEVER, if you really want to try the device explorer method, then it should also work.
When you get to the point of specifying the com port, have you actually checked the com port in your bluetooth settings?
The com port (serial port) for your bluetooth dongle is the com port you need.
Can you see the serial ports in bluetooth settings or are they absent? Can you send files between the phone and computer using bluetooth normally? Can you access the serial ports using My Phone Explorer or similar?
Answers to these questions might help us narrow down the problem.

I see something like this in my bt dongle driver
I use my adsl over my ethernet ,so maybe enabling access to ethernet card will give a chance to use the internet?
I dont have a k800,so i cant try it.

That means the Computer then provides an ip address to the connected bluetooth device that has PAN. In other words create a network connection. Presumably the K800 internet profile can use or be told to use the bluetooth PAN as the gateway for internet. Then when you access the internal phone browser, it will use the bluetooth pan network instead of the gprs.
But I haven't actually seen this done yet - we are relying on the fact SE say you can do it. I am dead keen to try but probably won't get a hold of a K800 for a little while yet.
