I'm assuming > that just means I haven't set it up with my provider yet. Though I am well, yes. basically you need to call your provider and tell them you want gprs data access. be careful: you really want "ip over gprs" not "wap over gprs". for example t-mobile usa calls their "wap over gprs" plan t-zones. that is not what you want. you can only use "wap over gprs" on your phone. you could still make a csd (circuit switched data) call, i.e. like regular modem does if you replace gprs number "#99" with real phone number of dial-up access point, but this will be slow (9600) and will come out of your minutes. > at a loss as to how to get bluetooth Sync to work with my nokia phone. > That's the biggest feature I am wanting with bluetooth so I can keep my > addressbook properly backed up to my pc.
