Hi bluetooth on the BrailleNote isn't all that good. It's ok if you just
want to use it as a Braille display for your PC or for transferring files
via ActiveSync, but not so for using your phone as a modem. Mind you, it's a
mystery, because if a service provider isn't using a proxy, then the
internet connection seems reliable enough; it's when they use a proxy that
things start to fall over.

Subject: [Braillenote] Accessing the Internet via Bluetooth and a
mobilephone
Guys, I'm on build 7.28 and will be installing 29 within the next day or
two. Do any of you use your mobile phones as a modem to access the
internet
and connect the BrailleNote via bluetooth? Even in a spot where there is
a good signal, I find this unreliable. Sometimes it disconnects for no
reason
when you're linking to another site and the whole BrailleNote blocks up.
Often it says Cannot find Port even when you have activated the modem. Is
there a way anyone knows of to get this working reliably? Also, if it
does
say cannot find port and you know your Braillenote modem is active, is
there
something you can do to get it working again without doing a reset or
removing the pairing? I've got a wifi card now which will hopefully work
with the new build but I've been reading with interest other peoples'
comments about wifi cards.
Best
