Can I share my WiFi link to a non wifi phone via bluetooth

I am about to go on holiday and plan browsing wirelessly in internet cafes etc

Is there a way to setup my phone (n80) to allow bluetooth acces to my internet connection from my wifes K800i?. I know this can be done with a PC.

Means we could both browse at the same time.

thanks

It is technically possible but I don't think anyone has written such a program yet. Nokia certainly haven't built this functionality into the N80 and I seriously doubt the next Firmware will have this functionality either. Nokia don't even let you send an SMS Text via Bluetooth, but it would be SOOOOOO easy to do that (I assume all the Network Operators begged - or blackmail - all phone manufacturers not to make Bluetooth do things they currently charge you for!)

I don�t know if is easy! The two, are a radio frequencies, different. How do you trunk one frequencie to the other? That frequencie becomes the other...:con? :con?

Hi GUyz

technically its possible to surf the net on the pc or laptop wich doesn't have wifi property by usin' a mobile phone have this property such aS N8o ,BUt you can't use another cell phone to surf the net by a bluetooth con. to another phone accessed to the net by WLAN because there is no cell phone have this function
