Here is a good one for you:

If want to access the internet on my phone, can I connect a bluetooth phone to WIFI via the Nokia 770.

Read carefully before You flame : not connect the 770 to GSM/CDMA via phone, but the OTHER way around.

Heim?

The urge to flame is strong here...but...

...normally the phone connects to the net via the comm channel (GSM, CDMA). Some phones have ways to mess with this (V3 comes to mind, in "test" mode), but I am not sure if the mechanism would be present to allow connection of the phone's built-in browser, since I am assuming that you want to use the phone's browser through BT to the 770's Wi-Fi. Then again, why? So now, if you want to use the phones "other apps", then you need to access the OS of the phone (the horror, the horror) and it has to have drivers that allow it to hook up--good luck.

Now, let's assume that the phone is sophisticated enough to have all sorts of drivers and hooks and that it can do what is called "Internet Sharing" where it attaches not to an access point like a router or modem (or it's comm channel!), but to another computer *and* it can do this via BT. Now the 770 has to be set up to reciprocate; i.e., it has to share it's Wi-Fi connection with a computer (in this case the phone) using it's BT port. In actuality, this side is easier since unix boxes have been doing sharing for years. Getting the 770's unix to do it is the rub.
