To begin with: Sony Ericsson's K850i is a beauty! Really love it, except the fact that it's a bit slow and the fingerprint thing...
But, here's my question: I know it's possible to use the computer's internet with your phone, by pairing it with Bluetooth. But I can't find anything in the settings of the K850i... I know with other phones there's something with "Bluetooth PAN", but Google isn't of very much help right now I'm afraid... 
So... Anybody got an idea? |

You just pair up your PC and k850i through a normal bluetooth connection then use the PC suite to connect to the web.
Im sure thats all you need to do, I dont have bluetooth on my PC though so cant say for certain. |

first of all here is my config
Win XP SP2
Pentium IV 3ghz / 1G of RAM
256 kps ADSL connection
a very basic BT dongle (unbranded)
WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software Stack 5.0.1.802
A SE W850i Handset with R1GB001 firmware
Configure your PC:
1/add your handset as a BT device normally.
2/ Quote:

3/Start menu > control panel > network connections > right click on your Internet connection > proprieties > advanced > and here you can share Internet access with the other network users (under firewall settings)
4/Also you can set the "My network access service" starting mode to automatic.
Configure your Handset:
1/ Menu > Settings > Bluetooth > Activate.
2/ Menu > Settings > Bluetooth > My devices > new device > add your PC ( and give it a name of your choice / mine is "Ordinateur").
3/ Menu > Settings > Internet Settings > New profile >
Name : "Test"
Connect using : "Ordinateur" Here the name of you BT device (PC) will be displayed as a data account SO YOU MUST CHOOSE IT
4/ Menu > Settings > Internet Settings > Select "Test" as default connection
5/ Menu > Settings > Bluetooth > powersave > on.
That's all. (just forget BT profile, bridged LAN/PAN and IP setting )
You can now use ur phone's Internet services (BT connection will be activated automatically)

@ Poplover: What you're posting is how to use your computer to acces the internet using your mobile phone. But what I'm interested in is the other way around: your computer already has internet, and with your K850i you can use the same connection of your computer with Bluetooth...
And I have a Mac too, and if you open Bluetooth Preferences, and then "Advanced", you can choose "Share my internet connection with other Bluetooth devices. (This allows other Bluetooth devices to use this computer's internet connection using the PAN service."
But then what? |

My computer uses USB Bluetooth and its Vista so there is no "My Bluetooth Places". |

In Bluetooth Preferences I also found at the phone's menu "connect to network". But then I don't know what to do... |

You install the software and plug your phone in on phone mode. It isnt hard. |

Ok, I have a Mac too, and I have the option "share my internet connection with Bluetooth devices", so that's pretty much the same. I paired the two of course too.
But where I'm stuck is with the phone itself. When I go to internet settings I have the following options:
1) Connect using:
- SEMC GPRS
- Mobile StartSite (default)
2) Allow local conn.
- on (default)
- off
And the touch keys don't have extra menus or something like that...

I know that it should be possible by doing network sharing, but I just have to wonder - why would anyone need their computer's internet connection for their cell phone considering they couldn't be further than 30 feet away from said computer? Wouldn't it be easier to do what you want to do on the computer itself? |

Because you can't open mobile phone web sites with computer and you can't download directly into phone with computer. |

Slightly OT, but you can install Opera on your PC or Mac and then view WAP sites.
