Lets say I'm browsing the net with my PDA via a bluetooth/GPRS connection provided by my T68i. While I am doing this, a voice call comes in. Can I answer and talk from my bluetooth headset while still browsing with the PDA?

As far as i know,when you receive a call on a gprs session,gprs is put on hold and you can only talk with the phone at that time(though the computer says you are connected!!!)...i guess nothing changes when bluetooth is connected..

bluetooth can multitask. for example, i am connected to gprs via bluetooth, i can also send/receive files, synchronize phone using bluetooth. hope this helps.

I can chat with yahoo mesenger, reply sms and answer voice calls. But beware not to answer a call when composing email or composing post to esato for instance, or else the msg will be erase ;-) This post was posted from a T68i

@ arnoldc
so, can one browse on the handheld like a Compaq 3970 with a bluetooth connection with the t68 as a modem while synchronizing address book with laptop using a TDK card? I don't have a handheld or PC card to try this out myself, sorry, and thanks for your help

The t68i is a class B gprs phone. Class A phone mean only able to use gprs network, class b mean you able to login gprs and gsm network too but no able to use simultaneously class c mean you able to use simultaneously the two networks. There is no classc phone on the market now. This post was posted from a T68i

while not related to the bluetooth multi-tasking previously discussed, there are three GPRS classes (fulika, you have them mixed up)

A GPRS terminal can be one of three classes: A, B, or C. A Class A terminal supports GPRS and other GSM services (such as SMS and voice) simultaneously. This support includes simultaneous attach, activation, monitor, and traffic. As such, a Class A terminal can make or receive calls on two services simultaneously. In the presence of circuit-switched services, GPRS virtual circuits will be held or placed on busy rather than being cleared.

A Class B terminal can monitor GSM and GPRS channels simultaneously, but can support only one of these services at a time. Therefore, a Class B terminal can support simultaneous attach, activation, and monitor, but not simultaneous traffic. As with Class A, the GPRS virtual circuits will not be closed down when circuit-switched traffic is present. Instead, they will be switched to busy or held mode. Thus, users can make or receive calls on either a packet or a switched call type sequentially, but not simultaneously.

A Class C terminal supports only nonsimultaneous attach. The user must select which service to connect to. Therefore, a Class C terminal can make or receive calls from only the manually (or default) selected service. The service that is not selected is not reachable. Finally, the GPRS specifications state that support of SMS is optional for Class C terminals.
