Using my cell phone to connect to the internet on my pda

Oct 2, 2004 9:56AM PDT

I have an HP ipaq pocket pc 4150, and would like to use my Nokia 6620 Smartphone to wirelessly connect to the internet via bluetooth connection. I am not clear at all on how to setup the connection. The option is a bluetooth dial-up networking connection, but upon trying to make the connection I get a connection error on my cell phone and a "failed conection" message on my ipaq. The devices are both bluetooth enabled and are successfully paired, so I figured my cell phone number was the dial-up connection number for my ipaq to connect to the internet. My question...is there a way to make this connection work? If so, what am I missing?
Thanks in advance

I just signed up for the CNET class on email road warrior. I have a 6620, and was told that using it as a modem eats up your mb allotment in a very big way. So unless you have extra mb available, you probably don't wanto to go there.
