    Anyone know if it's possible to use a normal internet connection on a PC, through Bluetooth so the P800 would have internet access?

    Tried this with my t68i and ended up having to use GPRS to make it work... but that's so damn expensive (2p/kb!). I had no luck trying to get a GSM connection working over BT and I think 02's were to blame, but I may be wrong ;)

    p.s. ...and to networking and comms with this!

    I told my mate I was pretty sure it wasn't possible.

    Oh well it was worth a try.

    The Opera browser should choose the broadband via bluetooth connection automatically, rather than open up a new GPRS connection: see here

    Hope this helps...

    Well that's good, didn't think it was possible... now I know differently!

    Thanks.
