Bluetooth network access

Hi, and apologies, as you'll see a few "can you do this on a communicator" questions, as I'm thinking of joining the series 80 world.

I'm thinking of the 7300 (for compactness) rather than the 9500, and was wondering if it was relatively straightforward to connect to my home network using bluetooth, as I'd be giving up the Wi-fi?

Having just got my Palm Tungsten to do the same, this would be a very useful feature...

What do you mean by connecting? If you mean sending and receiving files using Bluetooth, then yea its straightforward.

No, not quite - i would like to be able to access my DSL line, internet service via my PC, using a BT connection between the 9300 and my PC.

I think however that the thread on IP pass thorough and network bridging suggests that this is currenlty only possible with a wired connection - CORRECT?????

Thanks

Has anyone go the Internet to work over bluetooth yet ?

Even if it takes a Bluetooth Access point?

Really want to get it to work...
