actually, SE do specifically state in the K800 whitepaper that the K800 can access the internet on a pc by using bluetooth. It also says a computer can use bluettoh pan to access the phone's gprs, so it seems they are tlaking about both, not just one or the other.

If we were meant to be able to do it, it would work without having to faff about with the sdk. I think it's more likely a badly worded paragraph. The nets wouldn't like it and they're locking wifi out on some. Ericsson aren't going to allow sonyericsson to damage a relationship with nets are they?

no, no, no...the sdk method is too fiddly, there is a better way with the K800. The K800 supports bluetooth pan ie: it can act as a dhcp client via bluetooth, so you enable bluetooth pan on your computer and share the internet, it can be used by the phone.

Nothing to do with the SDK, that only applies to K750 etc which don't have bluetooth PAN.

Hey Max are you talking about making a BT connection to the phone via the computer and then using the 3G/GPRS connection to surf the web? If so, I have done this plenty of times. IN fact there is a piece of software from NovaMedia that makes this set up very easy. Works 10000000000% of the time, every time.

No, I'm talking about making the internet profile on the K800 use the pan bluetooth connection to access the internet connection on a computer. If this is possible, as SE say it is, then you will be able to browse the web with the K800's inbuilt browser using the internet connection on the computer. The exact opposite of what you are talking about. I've been using my phone as a gprs modem since the T610..

Hi guys

The English manual for the K750 is a translation of my dutch manual and I've based it on the efforts Maxwedge when he got it working on a T610
The K800 white paper tells "connect the phone to the internet using bluetooth" so I think this couldn't be misunderstood
Also you could make a new data connection using bluetooth and I suppose a PAN connection is available according to the manual.
I don't have a K800, else it would be working right now because my bluetooth dongle has PAN support

sounds cool, It sounds like this PAN function works, but peeps need to find out if the BT on their computers support the service. I think its great that SE have added this to there general phones as this would be used to suf the net whist someone is using the computer for free. Almost like Wifi (Cant wait for P990)

Oh and its good to use the computers mic and speakers via the BT connection whist on the phone instead of using the phone, its a much better loud speaker.

BT on computers should stream music too if the service is there.

Yep, that info is from the white papers. The K800 whitepaper says exactly the same thing:
"Bluetooth™ PAN:
Connect the phone to Internet using Bluetooth™." I quoted it several post's back.

I think we've well and truly established that SE intend the K800 to be able to connect to the internet through a computer, the question is how...

Maybe it's interesting to post which BT dongles support PAN.
I've got 2 class 1 dongles, the oldest one is an Air2u bt1.2 dongle and using Widcomm 5.x drivers it has PAN support.
My newest dongle is the Cellink BTA-6030 bt2.0 supporting everything you could think of including edr (2-3Mb/s data rate).
This dongle can work with Toshiba or Widcomm drivers (has Toshiba chip).
I can setup a PAN network between these dongles so that's enough proof for me
