Bookmark topic
When I get my P800 I would like to try this but if you are connecting via bluetooth shouldn't that mean you will only be able to use the free internet on the P800 while standing within 10m of your comp?
Also, how can I get my pc bluetooth compatible?

you will need a
card or dongle - 10 meters is about right - but thats fine for me!!!

There are now USB bluetooth adaptors for the PC that boost the range. Have seen soom at 50m (ordered one) and a chap reviewing another somewhere at 100m range i.e. Your phone will still have th +/-10m bubble but the PC has +/- 50/100m bubble.
Don't forget you only get 10m if nothing acts as a barrier. Walls will reduce the range and especially any steelwork.

sync your pc (already connected to the internet) to your p800 via BT, don't disconnect, then browse away..
t68i doesn't have a web viewer. it cannot be used for "pass through" connection to the internet.
by the way, it is not free. you are just using your pc as gateway. you still have to connect your pc to the internet and use that connection to browse the web using p800. weird though! why not just use your pc to browse the net.

exactly... or more clearly, imagine if you're 50 m from your pc, and you try to connect. Even if the phone receives the signal from your PC, the phone can only broadcast back 10m, so the PC can't "hear" the phone.
If only it was that easy
By the way - these P800's really are great aren't they?
