Also, would I have better luck with yes, many people have done it. it should be pretty straight forward with any bluetooth capable phone. > certain phones/providers? I'd like to go with T-Mobile in which case the just make sure the phone supports Dial-Up Networking (DUN) profile. although, i will be surprised if you find a bluetooth capable phone that does not support DUN :) as far as provider goes, you need to make sure your provider of choice has good gprs coverage in the desired areas. if you do not have gprs coverage (but have gsm coverage), you sill might be able to make CSD (Circuit Switched Call - voice), but it will be very slow 9600 baud. > only phone i really like is the razor.
