Ok rrright, sticking with a PDA/phone combo thing can be a good idea, as well as veryy costly because although getting a PDA and a phone separately can be expensive, a PDA phone could be jus as much as buying the two, maybe even more, and then in order to use the phones internet you need to buy the monthly subscription (i heard cingular charges about $24 a month, verizon charges $5 but i've never experienced it on a big screened PDA) so thats adding so much per month forever! ok, some dial-up services are $24/mo (ummm AOL, but i dunno if you can use a number from AOL) BUT, the easiest way to combat these atrocious expenses is to simply get a bluetooth phone and PDA (personally, i use the Motorola v710 and Dell x50v, i guess i would suggest Pocket PC mobiles..only because i've never used a palm-based one with bluetooth internet). Now, for the steps you wanted to find out. Its really easy, first of all make sure you have the devices and a subscription to dial-up service and make sure u obtain a number from them that an average computer would dial it to get to the internet service. Then, simply turn the bluetooth on from your PDA and cell phone, and then from your PDA you go to bluetooth manager and then click the option for bluetooth modem and then it will as you to choose your phone, or it can search the area (30 feet range) for a cell phone that has an active bluetooth radio and once it is found, both sides will ask you for a PIN (which is always 1234) and then they are connected! from there, your PDA will ask for that dial-up information (so you will need to input your username and password, along with the number used) and then it will try to dial it in and if the username and password work and the number is correct then you're in buisness! and you can enjoy the wonders of having internet through a bluetooth connection with your phone while waiting in the doctors office or whenever without having to worry about paying too much. Now, there is a twist...because you are dialing in, that means you are using minutes...BUT, with verizon, you use minutes to use its mobile web anyway, and im pretty sure its the same with cingular..on top of that extra monthly subscription. Ok, so yea it is still using minutes on top of the dial-up monthly subscription..but hopefully you have chosen a very inexpensive dial-up service, or it makes no sense to get the two in the first place. Alright, well i hope that i have helped you in your quest for finding the right internet-pairing solution to a PDA and cellphone! if i have forgotten anythin, or maybe you want to find out more, or even are confused about anything i have typed, you can e-mail me (i think that it shows my e-mail address or some form of contact from my user information)
