Hi, you have tried it? Or anyone has tried to use 9210 to surf on the bet connecting to a GPRS-phone thru IR? Is it fast?

see posting of 08 march

havent tried since to much work and cant take the risk of it hanging again will try in may dureing the hols

It works perfect for me since two months with T2�80 and Einternet.

All you have to take care is to reset preferred connection to a normal gsm connection before resetting the nokia, if not it's a crash that you can only avoid by removing the MMC (provided that you have installed einternet on MMC)

Connection is much faster (and FREE in France with Orange until end of June !!! User posted image)

However the Nokia browser is still a bit slow in showing the pages.

Best thing would be to convince a developper (like Psiloc ) for instance to create a module bluetooth to plug on to the serial port and allow connections with all bluetooth gprs phones
