IPAQ 2215 and bluetooth cell

[Main Target]

im planning on getting a tmobile phone and using it with my 2215 to use the internet... is it true that tmobile has free wap browsing they jsut block some ports?

I've heard several peopls say it no longer works for them, so don't count on it. It's not part of an official plan.

there are several threads about it here (search for "t-mobile"), or you can check out howardforums.com for more info.

Then if you get a nice BT phone, like the T610 (or similar) you can browse WAP sites and do a bunch right from the phone, or connect your 2215 through the phone, using it sort of as a modem and browse using PIE, connect via Messenger, retrieve PoP email, connect into other networks with VPN (or not), etc. It's not blindingly fast, mind you, but it does work, from anywhere you have signal.

Of course you don't need to do this BT. You can find cable solutions between the phone and the PPC, but yeeech.

i got the v600 which is BT yeeeyy.

is it that slow?

I have the 2215, the Motorola V710 and Verizon. It just costs minutes to use the phone to connect to the internet. I use bluetooth and it's fast. i love it!!!

I hope you realize the internet speeds on T-Mobile suck. Go with Verizon or Sprint if you want fast browsing.

Actually I am switching from Sprint to Tmobile because Sprint does not provide a decently priced data plan for PDA's or computers. All the speed in the world does me no good if I can only access it through a phone.
