Maybe with third party apps, but I haven't seen any. Most modern laptops have WIFI, so it's not a commonly requested feature... The other way round (I.E. WIFI to computer, 3G/GPRS to Internet) might be interesting though. P990i (GW1) + 4GB MS This signature is (probably) brought to you with the help of HTTP.
