[maemo-users] US users of Nokia 770 - compatibility with Bluetooth-enabled cellphone as modem
Hello, I am preparing to replace my cell phone (on the verizon network, hence the US-specific question). I wish to use the phone to serve as a modem with my Nokia 770, using bluetooth as the link between the two devices. I have done this successfully in the past, however, not with any of the phones that are now available to me as choices. The choices I have for phones are based on this URL: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/compare.php?id%5B%5D=905id%5B%5D=980id%5B%5D=704id%5B%5D=953id%5B%5D=950 which yields these choices: LG VX-8300 LG VX-8500 LG VX-9800 Motorola RAZR V3m Samsung SCH-A990 It appears all five of these offer DUN (dial-up networking) profile on Bluetooth, along with Verizon's 1xEVDO (high speed data) network service. My question is this - have you had any experience integrating any of these five phones with the Nokia 770 for wireless wide-area Internet access, or do you know of any resource that could help me pre-confirm interoperability? I am asking this question because the carrier (Verizon Wireless) offered data integration kit only pertains to Windows computers, and in fact I will need to do the integration manually (figuring out the AT DT type dialing information and such) and won't be able to get vendor support. Very thanks for any advice, Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Title: Best Regards, David, as I understand from commentary on various discussion lists, Verizon does not like its users to use their mobile handsets as a modem (so-called "tethering") to reach Verizon's EVDO service. Sprint on the other hand seems to be more flexible in this respect. Having said that, the Verizon handset models running Windows Mobile 5.0 and incorporating both bluetooth as well as EVDO (and of course CDMA for voice) can be modified to expose the modem application, wmodem.exe, on the handset. Among these handsets is the XV6700 which also has a mini usb connector so, with an adapter cable it can be connected, for example, to a PC's USB port. Here is the url to information about how to enable DUN on the XV6700: http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6700-xv6700/64889-bluetooth-dun-tethering-solution-verizon-xv6700-codes-method.html These mods of course are specific to WM 5.0 if not the XV6700. Because I do not have any bluetooth PC adapters I have not verified myself whether or not this mod works with bluetooth as in claimed at the aforementioned www page.

david I am preparing to replace my cell phone (on the verizon network, hence the US-specific question). First off, none of the pocketpc phones can reliably deliver high-speed DUN to a linux client. My guess is that the windows xp DUN client intentionally slows things down so the phone doesn't crash or drop the connection. The xv6700 will lock up solid when you try to use high-speed DUN and the samsung i730 will drop the connection randomly. The i730 I had only worked OK when NOT in an evdo coverage area. I went round and round with verizon on DUN. I'd recommend Sprint if you can switch, but if you have to use verizon, this is What I found: 1. Verizon advertises several phones as bluetooth dialup capable and even names the DUN profile in technical materials without necessarily following the profile's spec. What you get with some of these phones is bluetooth dialup *if* you are using their connection software which obviously does not work on nokia. The nokia will not even be able to discover the DUN service if this is the problem. 2. You may lose DUN at any time. Verizon removed standards-based DUN from my e815 during a required firmware upgrade. After calling them on it, they replaced it with a palm 700p, but I'm sure they will continue this practice. I hope DUN continues to work on my 700p but at least I have a hope of finding a third-party palm utility to reenable it if Verizon takes it away from me. I am paying $60 for data ($45 for unlimited pda data and $15 on top of that for the priviledge to use it through bluetooth). Sprint has the same deal in a $40 data package.
