Hi,
I have read on esato that it is possible to connect P900 with a bluetooth dongle and surf the net from p900 using PC internet connection (without having to use GPRS).
Is this possible?if yes,how?
I am going to get a BT USB dongle and I am thinking of getting Epox BT-DG03 or BT-DG02A.Are these OK for my wish?

But - when I try this - the phone wants to open a connection GPRS for Internet access.... How do I tell Opeara to just use the BT connection to the PC?

Thanks man.
I will buy one of those Epox bluetooth dongles.
Which one is better?A 10m one or a 100m one?It means DG03 or DG02A?DG03 is 10m and DG02A is 100m.
Have you tried before one of these?

It doesn't matter which you get for P900 use as distance in limited to 10m I think. Only use would be with another PC. I have a TDK dongle which is very good

Damn P900.
Everytime I try open a bluetooth serial port, I got an error:"The bluetooth serial connection failed:The remote device closed the connection".
What the hell?
And if I open Opera,it always wants to open a connection via GPRS,meaning that the connection with bluettoth dongle is not opened.
I have Epox Bluetooth BTDG02A.
Any help would be appreciated.

It works.Sorry.
It seemed to be a battery problem.
Now I can browse the internet superfast and the GPRS Log shows 0 KB transfere (of course,0 KB through GPRS since I am using my broadband connection).

I created a fake account but the P900 still replies with: access denied.
What do I need to do to be able to access the internet through my
CP-BTDG03 ?

I have paired the PC and the P900 and there is no problem exchanging files, answering the phone through my computer`s headset and there is a confirmed connection.

Please post your opinion. Thanks.
