mobile Wi-fi access point with bluetooth support

Is there any moblie wi-fi access point or device which may be powered by battaries and is compatible via bluetooth with nokia 6670?

My point is to have mobile access to wireless networks with my phone without any computers, just wifi access point and a phone!

Am i on a dead end here?

ive searched the forums and the net for such wifi devices but have found none

We have a Tecom BT3021 Bluetooth AP which works well with a Tungsten T3 to give access to our Lan and thus to the internet. I have a Sendo X and I've seen some writeups of partial success with getting it to talk networking to Bluetooth - but haven't spent a lot of time on this myself. I appreciate this is only part of what you want but you could (I suppose) combine a BT AP with a WiFi bridge (the kind they use with consoles, which I have set up with a Mac).
But it would, indeed, be handy to combine the two together in a single, battery powered, box.

amazing! i never thought of that idea of such a device! i must say that it can be done and SHOULD have been done but i hope ur posts give manufactures an idea as it would be great to have such a small device around but i think that bluetooths slow speeds will give us no benefit 😞
