Hello all
Just a quick bit of advice please can the w800i be used for connecting
to a Bluetooth Personal Area Network?
When i try to connect it tells me to add a device it then searchs for
phone when it does not find it says it because device doesn't support
PAN...is this true?
any advice appreciated cheers |

I have read too (I don't remember when), but said that W800 does not support PAN. I've tried that myself but, no success. Anyway who needs PAN when we have Widcomm Bluetooth Drivers.

I have never been able to get my internet working using bluetooth (Bluesoliel). Its really frustrating. I have the bluetooth modem installed but I just get the error message that the 'modem has failed'.
Frustration!

I can connect using usb cable and I installed all the drivers off the disc.
I also have the bluetooth modems installed and have created a new internet connection.
I will have another go tonight.

No! 
I guess I will have to stick with the USB cable connection but, that doesn't give me 3G speeds as I can't move the phone near my window which is the only place I can get a 3G signal.

You don't need pan to use the bluetooth modem - they are two completely different systems. On K800 etc bluetooth PAN gives you access to the gprs modem in the phone, but on W800 and K750 (non-pan phones) you can use the bluetooth drivers to access the phones internal gprs modem.
You need to setup a dial up connection specifying the bluetooth modem as the modem, using the special phone number your network provides. Don't worry it's not a real dial-up connection - it uses the phones gprs, not csd, to connect to your provider's gprs.

So I don't need to have the PAN activated on Blulesoliel. OK but I am sure I tried it without it first.
My best bet would be to phone t-mobile and ask for their help I think.

Yep, and you might have to ask them to put you through to 2nd level data support, the usual guys often won't know what you are talking about.
