Browse internet from a Palm using bluetooth cellphone?

[mbaxter22]

Here's the thing I've got this user with a Clie NZ-90 handheld and a Nokia 3650 cellphone. Both devices are bluetooth enabled, and I've already figured out how to make them "see" each other via Bluetooth. I set both devices to trust each other so that the bluetooth connection always occurs automatically. So far so good. But now what? What this doctor needs is to use email and browse the internet from his Clie, with the cellphone providing the connection to the internet. He uses T-Mobile and I've purchased the internet access option for his account (for an additional $20 a month).

But I don't know where to go from there. I look at the Clie and I don't see any option for choosing a type of internet connection or any browser app. T-Mobile doesn't have a clue because they only support their phones not third-party hardware (the Clie).

Is there a guide or how-to out there for getting on the internet with Palms & cellphones or does anyone have any other info on this?

thanks,
Mike

Got my Tungsten T to do it through my 3650. You need to download the software from Palm that has the communications profiles for your phone. After you do that you just select the phone connection in the networking configuration control panel-ish thingy, and then it's all automatic.

However, service is slow and flaky unless you have very good signal strength where you are, and all the browser software I found was crap. It's probably fine for sending/receiving email, but unless you're surfing very small/WAP sites, I wouldn't recommend it for general web access.
