Internet Access via T610...

I am very new to bluetooth so I thought i would share my experiences
with you all

I have a Sony Ericsson (SE) T610, Windows XP Pro SP-1 running on my
Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop and a Belkin USB Bluetooth Dongle (the 100M
one with the fin ariel thing).
I installed the SE software and created a dialup connection using my
O2 GSM WAP settings and it connected to the internet using my phone
(bluetooth modem)

After thinking Bluetooth was a bit crap to start with I now see what
it is designed for. I kept wanting to compare it to Wi-Fi, etc but I
cant, it is just a non-line of sight infrared and it is excellent

I am very happy with it now. I hope everyone else is as happy as me.
Yes Bluetooth is a bit weird to start with but just think of it as you
would connect a device via IR. The "services" it has for serial ports
make it just like a serial port, meaning you can use it so easily just
by mapping a dummy serial port to the bluetooth connection and the OS
makes everything think it is just a real serial port, genius

Bluetooth rules!
