Yeah in case u'all wondering how that is possible, u can actually browse with ur smartphone using ur broadband internet connection. This will hit u sooner than u expected. Supported phones include most symbian mobiles. Coming soon!

umm. . .There's something called 'WiFi' and/or 'Wireless Router'

Well some phones have W-LAN (wireless local area network). . . So that's absolutely possible, but i've not seen anyone use it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This one does not depend on WLAN, It has to do with wirelessly routing ur broadband connection to ur bluetooth enabled phone using a particular software both installed on ur PC and the phone. If ur phone is a smartphone most likely symbian ure good to go. When im done testing mine ill unleash the whole stuff here 4 y'all to try out. Its kinda cool.

bimbor, wats poppin?

@ poster
I am already doing that with my 9500

My pal here uses SE p990. . . . . . . . . and browses when he detect's an unsecured connection

Guys ure gettin this wrong this is not about wifi connection.

This thing works by default on p-series phones. Internet connection is shared and routed from ur pc via data cable, infrared or bluetooth to your mobile phone.

Bimbor i wish you good on your search.


@ all
It called Personal Ad-hoc and i do not think there is any third party application for that.

Info thanx trust when im done with my discovery nairaland will b d first to know.

Why don't u show us the link or something .

@bimbor
There's nothing new about sharing your internet via bluetooth PAN.
I haven't used a Nokia phone in ages, but i'm pretty sure the PC Suite supports internet sharing via bluetooth. I could be wrong though.

Here's a guide for doing that stuff with Sony Ericsson phones (P990 and m600i)

hmmm, texazpet what do u know.,, ,i rest my case. Next time feel free 2 ask.

@ texazzpete

Yes m600i does that (without installing another application), what bimbor is trying to do is get a third party application that can share your PC internet with your symbain phone.

@ bimbor

AM i right?

you stated you were testing something out that wasn't quite ready for release yet. Since it doesn't involve software developed by you, a more reasonable approach would have been to throw it open to all, give regular progress reports and call for more testers.

I'm sorry if you feel offended anyway. I'll butt out now.
