I do not know how you will get the Nokia 770 to recognize and pair with the Samsung T509 ( surely, there is some kind of hack mentioned in this Forum somewhere ). As I mentioned before I use my Nokia 770 IT recognized and paired with my Nokia 6682 phone. I can get to the Internet when no Wi-Fi is available. I have not subscribed to any extra Web / Data plan. At present, I use the simple 600 Minutes / $ 39.99 T-Mobile plan. This is strictly a regular Voice Plan with no involvement of any kind of ' Total Internet Plan ', a Data Plan and all that.

I am sure that once you figure out how to get you Samsung T509 and the Nokia 770 / N800 recognize and pair with each other, you will be able to do the surf the Net without paying anything extra for any Web / Data Plan.


Update:

Try to see if the folowing works for you. This is from a post by a gentleman named " Historian ", on this Forum. You can also search for ' Samsung T509 ', to get more information about this.

I did use such settings ( under the Advanced Tab ) before, with my ' dear discarded ' Nokia 3650 Phone. But now I find that I can connect without all this and without the extra $5.99 T-Mobile Web plan.

I use a T-Mobile Plan they call "Total Internet Plan VB" it's $49.99 a month, I'm not sure what T-Mo thinks it should be used for but it has always allowed me to use the T509 as a DUN modem and gives me access to the Hot Spots at Starbuck's and Borders's with my 770, it's a flat rate with unlimited data. I have never had any other plan so I can't say if a different plan would allow for the DUN access.

Does anyone have the Tmobile US $29.99 Internet plan working with their n800 or 770?

I'm sorry, I should have clarified. I DO have a Samsung T509 phone at the moment and just upgraded to it recently (to get the plum one and passed the silver one on to my boyfriend, which made an unfortunate run through the washer and dryer a week ago) so I don't plan on upgrading again for (hopefully!) a little while.

I DO NOT have a Nokia N800 just yet as I'm still waiting anxiously on my tax return before I can purchase it. I was just curious, while playing the waiting game and checking the forums daily, if these two devices could pair with each other, since I've heard so many complaints about the Blackberry, and also wanted to know if I needed to upgrade my plan to allow internet access if I need to use it in a pinch. I currently have the $69.99 family plan (700 shared minutes) right now which suits us perfectly fine but I guess I'll try pairing it with the N800 when I finally get it. So far, the little T509 has absolutely LOVED pairing with anything bluetooth, the only hiccup came with mp3 files as ringtones but there was a workaround for that so it's not really an issue, just an extra step.

I just wanted to ask everyone here since everything on T-Mobile's website caters to the IM and Email crowd, and not so much the web-surfing-while-paired-with-an-internet-tablet crowd.

Thanks for the info Arjun! I'll see what I find out hopefully in a week or two!

I haven't had the time to read through this entire thread, but I can say that the Nokia 6133 works via BT DUN with the 770 and the 800. Note this is with the $19.99 or $29.99 internet plan. I have not tried to get it working with the $5.99 t-zones plan. The phone is decent, has EDGE and a QVGA screen.

I have an 800 and use this phone quite a bit, it was a snap to setup with out-of-the-box settings on the n800. My co-worker has a 770 and uses this same phone, not sure if he had to adjust any settings on the tablet or not.

with the help of another member of this forum, I have been able to pair my T-Mo T-509 with my Nokia 770 and exchange files, etc. I have not yet been able to use the phone as a modem. I only have a voice plan with T-Mo. However, from reading this thread, it is suggested that there is a way to use the phone as a modem. I am going to try the suggestion in this thread.

jonsoini,

Thank you for a very clear and concise answer to my question - which t-mobile phone will work with the N800.

I am now off to buy the 6133. I am not in search of a fancy phone - just one that will work with EDGE.

Thanks.

I think a new thread needs to be created and MONITORED so that only entries with the working Bluetooth config's can be posted ie:

Service Provider Phone 770 or 800 Data Plan/Special Service

JDK410,
Good idea,
I just started a new thread as you suggested.
Neil

Just want to update what I did. Today after reading that the Nokia 6133 works - I spend the day changing from my blackberry 8700g and got the 6133. I changed plans to include the $29.99 T-Mobile Internet and $4.99 for 400 Any messages (text or video).

After receiving countless Error messages indicating I needed to subscribe to GPRS service first -- I am finally connecting.

I don't know if the error message had to do with the need to wait for it to activate as I was told by a level III t-mobile staffer or the fact another told me to change the Access Point name to internet2.voicestream.com from the default entry of internet.

After I made this change it worked.

A speedtest indicated I am getting 148 kbps download and 66 kbps upload from the T-Mobile service.

I am a very happy man - total connectivity (as far as t-mobile can take me).

I'm unable to get a Treo 650 on Tmobile working on the N800 as of yet.

Will have to start a thread on this.
