Can anyone explain to me "what's the point?"
If you have broadband and a monitor ridiculously larger than the 7610 screen, why go through so much bother just to be able to sit in another room and strain your eye's?
Hold on, halfway typing I thought of this.
You only have one PC in your house, so surfing for p0rn isn't possible with your mum/girlfriend in the house/same room. So you can get p0rn on your phone while your locked in bathroom cracking one off.
Actually someone see if this is possible!!
why bother cracking off while your girlfriend is in the house?
My girlfriend is in the house and I also have no interest in bluetooth connection to the internet he he!!
well .. plz do not spam this tread with uninteresting personal stuff ..
Whats the point of polluting this thread if you don't understand the reason for it!!!?
Obviously its not just for casual surfing, but to download emails to the phone, or more importantly use Avant-go on your phone(downloads the days news so that you can read the daily papers on the train ) .
This feature is accessible on every pocket pc, and every Nokia phone up til the 7610...Thats why its quite a concern to everybody else that we find a way of getting the internet through to the 7610....
An other phorum has a more active thread on it, but still no answer...

Calm down!!!
I was asking what the point of this was because I didn't understand. I have never used a mobile phone other than to make and receive calls before I got my 7610 and wanted to know more on this subject. Ok if you can't see past a little bit of pi55taking that’s fine, but why be so serious. Spamming? Hardly! I was having a f**king joke. Be it funny or unfunny, loosen up you only live once.
In future I will remember to interact with my fellow symbian users in a polite, concise and characterless way so not to offend those who's only colour in life is grey.
I've gone through the instructions repeatedly and they just don't work for the 7610. It seems as though the author wrote it for the 6600 and assumed it would work for the 7610 but as far as I can tell no one has had any success using this method on all the internet searches I've done.
Even if the phone didn't support browsing in this style it would be certainly be possible to write a client server application to pass down pages from an app running on a pc - the only problem with this method is you would have to develop a browser ... it's a bit of a pandoras box. The other way would be to write the phone equivalent of an NDIS Driver so all connections must go through this driver which requests the info from the pc via bluetooth instead of the usual route - I'm not sure if this is actually possible though on a symbian phone and there must surely be an easier method. Writing a client server app for email via bluetooth would be far easier than for web as long as it was text only. I've posted a request to Nokia although they haven't responded as yet.

Take a look at this thread: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum//forum/thread/29000/. AFAIK, and I am new to s60 so I might be wrong, however I don't this will work because Nokia changed the way the bluetooth serial port is implemented on the 7610.
Hey regarding this remote S60, can i connect using my DKU2 cable???
is this the end of the story? finish? simply CANNOT work with/without help of any software?
Here is a pretty detailed guide on how to do it and it states that it DOES work with 7610:

Looks pretty promising I would do it but I don't have a bluetooth dongle... if soumeone can confirm that this works I'll be getting one for sure 😊
hey thanx! i've lent my dongle to a friend so i'll be trying this as soon as i get it back which i'l make sure i do pretty soon! 😉
No Prob.
I've asked my bro if he'd "borrow" a dongle from his work.. I'm sure they have thousands they won't miss one 😉
Anyway I'll be trying that 2night *hopefully* so I'll post back comments on how it went.
Darn it wouldn't work with me!
So I looked about a bit and according to this:

At the moment there is NO way of doing the internet sharing with the 7610 😡
Ah well.
aww man! ohh well!! *sigh*
anyone found away to beat nokias stupidity on this problem?
i dont think so.. i havent! 😞 i wish there was a company that would develop Wi-Fi cards for symbian phones that would attach in the pop-port and add wi-fi capability to our phones, i think they would be very successful! i hope firms like nokia do read this forum and get ideas from it!
I have tried several times and in several ways with the help of several tutorials to connect from the 6670 (its no mine, I have borrow it, i would never bought a nokia mobile phone😉, through bluetooth to the internet on my computer LAN, I am not asking now about the tutorial or howto, but If anyone has ever succeeded with this connection. I have tried the tutorials for 6600 but it does not work.
