The customer service would keep telling me that I could not use Bluetooth because I had not purchased the "tethering package". I was at the end of my contract and so, I switched to T-Mobile. It not only connects vis Bluetooth to do GPRS, I am also able to use Bluetooth to dial out to a 56K modem pool. Its slow, but works in a pinch. Now, this may not apply to you, because you seem to have purchased the Edge package, but for me, it was one more reason to not go with AT&T. cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Systems San Francisco State University San Francisco CA 94132 USA http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://opensource.sfsu.edu/ ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I usually slide the key, hold it until I see the prompt.

Thanks. You need an UPNP server to use mediastreamer, like twonkyvision (payware) or ushare (which had a problem causing mediastreamer not to find it, but may be fixed by now...) I use gmediaserver (http://www.gnu.org/software/gmediaserver/). I hear it has limitations on number of items. Install is simple though on Debian/Ubuntu (apt-get).I also have a MythTV install at home and my Nokia MediaStreamer finds it, so I suppose MythTV must be doing uPNP...

The upgrade works well, but I agre that the browser seems a bit too eager to crash.

[maemo-users] pairing with Motorola 551v
Hi all, I just got my 770 a few days ago, and I must say that I am quite impressed. I've had the Sharp Zaurus 6000 for some time, but I think the Nokia 770 has a much better UI. Anyway, getting to the point: I am trying to pair it with my Motorola 551v. It gets through the seek and exchange of the four digit key. The Motorola phone shows "paired and saved", but the Nokia 770 fails to pair. Does anyone have any ideas to make the two work? Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Asst.
