Browsing with Home Connection

Hi all,
I'm actually looking to browse with the built-in browser (not with webviewer), is there any tip to sharing my dsl connection, also with usb and not bluetooth? In another post I red this

Basically, to make it work with the built-in browser, what I do is load 1 page in the built-in browser over GPRS, then I disconnect from GPRS and delete my INTERNET ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then enable my Bluetooth connection with my PC, then when I go to the built-in browser and start loading a page, the browser won't find any internet account settings and connect through BT in stead. Hope this helps.

Is it true?

Thank you very much

Of course it's true. I wrote that, and it works for me. Why don't you try it out for yourself.

The built-in browser has a harder time finding the BT connection than WebViewer, it'll always search for an internet account first, then when there is no internet account it'll notice BT. This may require some tweaking to make it work. Just try.

Okay, this sounds interesting. Basically then you're using the computer (Does it Work with a Mac?) as the browser, so you can Download Apps. directly into the phone without paying per Meg downloaded?.

Did I understand it correctly? I'm not a tech Wiz so I get kind of lost.

Yep that's correct. You'll find more info here: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=16855&forum=16
