Hi all,

I have a Nokia 5800 and I want to know is there a way that it can be used as wifi adaptor for computer.

I have wifi at home that I use on my laptop and on my 5800. But on my PC I do not have a wifi adaptor. Can someone tell me whether I can hook up my 5800 to my PC through USB or Bluetooth and use the wifi on 5800 to connect to internet on my PC..

My friend wants to buy a Nokia 5530 which almost has same features as 5800 and he wants to know whether he can do that using 5530..

Please let me know.. Thanks for all your help..

I assume you want to use the 3G data connection on the Nokia to bridge to your PC?

Whilst it should be technically possible, I haven't seen such an app... anyone???
