i have successfully setup my phone to use my ntl broadband internet connection and i can browse on the phone using opera mini.

this is the guide i followed http://users.skynet.be/yozy/tutorials/se/k750/k750-1.htm

at the very end it says this:
Starting Opera remotely via HID

To use your broadband connection you need to start Opera from your PC. But there is an easy way that allows you to remotely open Opera from your PC using your phone!

* What you need:
o A working HID profile on your pc and phone
o A tool to determine the Entrypoint and ID of the Opera browser
o A shortcut on your desktop
* Download the necessary software:
o minibrowser.lnk (right click -> save as...)
o List.bat (right click -> save as...)
o List1.bat (right click -> save as...)
o Desktop.hid (optional)

1. First go to Entertainment > Remote Control on your phone and look for the Desktop profile.
If not, download Desktop.hid and send it to your phone via Bluetooth.
2. Copy minibrowser.lnk to your desktop. The name is not important so you can change it if you like.
3. Now you need to determine the Entrypoint (1 or 2 digits) and ID (5 digits) of the Opera browser. You can do this by running List.bat.
4. Once you got the numbers, go to the settings of the minibrowser.lnk shortcut and change the numbers. The first 2 numbers is the Entrypoint and the other 5 are the ID.
5. You should now be able to start Opera from your phone. To do this go the Entertainment > Remote Control and select the Desktop profile. You can start Opera by pressing the * button on your phone.

number 4. thats the part i'm stuck at what exactly does he mean by go to settings of the minibrowser.ink? all i have is an invalid file type on my desktop named minibrowser.ink and i can't enter the settings so could anybody give me a more detailed guide to setting up the HID.

thanks for any help

No matter the connection you have on your computer it should work if you do everything as it said properly. So far, I have bluetooth broadband on my W800 which download speed is 8 - 10 KB/s.
