I know it is possible to connect your computer with the phone using bluetooth and surf via phone's GPRS.

But would it be possible to do other way around: to connect your phone to the computer's broadband using bluetooth dongle?
This way you could surf WAP on your phone using computer's fast connection.

It's probably not possible but if somebody have any idea let me know.

PS: please no stupid answers like: "why would you like to do that".
There are plenty of reasons why. For example testing your WAP applications on a real phone and not spending money on GPRS or reading the email while taking a shit etc...

AFAIK the only SE phones that can do that are the p8/900

Just a thought!

Thanks for the answers. I suposed this was the case.

@orangeman: Of course I can use an emulator. I said testing your WAP applications on a REAL phone using computer's broadband connection.
Most of the emulators can not emulate everything exactly as the phone. For example cookie support and cache behaviour.

Anyway this was a post about WAP connection and not about emulators.
