Default Bluetooth to Wifi bridge
With all these new smartphones that have integrated bluetooth and no SDIO slot, it would be such a waste to go on an unlimited GPRS plan even at hotspots to use messenger it IE. Are there any hardware devices that are small and portable and lets the bluetooth-integrated smartphones have access to wifi at hotspots?

If you are on an unlimited GPRS plan, why would it be a waste to use MSNM or IE? :?

You could use a laptop that has Bluetooth and WiFi built in. Sure it's a little large... :wink:

Default grps
i would b mostly using the wireless feature at hotspots, so having wifi is great and cheap and fast
whereas an unlimited gprs plan where i live would cost $50CAD, that's on top of the original cellphone bill (heck that's more expensive than home internet lol and it's 56k)
