As you may know I am here in Luxembourg, its taking ages to get a phone line/adsl here, and its going to be some weeks yet . So I was wondering if any of you know about using a gprs mobile with Bluetooth to connect my pc to the internet.... I will need Bluetooth on the pc too, which I have found a D-link usb Bluetooth dongle , does anyone know if this is suitable..Would a Nokia 6310 be ok for this ? Any help or alternative ideas much appreciated....:)

Yes, you can get online like this...

It's usally pricey though, for the GPRS data. It's also very slow - a bit slower than a normal modem / phone line.

You could also do it via a USB / serial data cable - you can get these off ebay for a few pounds...

Here in the UK unless you can get a flat rate GPRS tariff, it's quite expensive - £1/megabyte transferred...

t68i will work fine for it - that's what I used to have.
