Using the N97 as a bluetooth modem

4 replies · 5,337 views · Started 29 January 2010

I'm sure I've done this before, maybe I used the cable though.

Can it be done through one touch in pc suite via Bluetooth??

Or do I need the cable ??

Smartphone my ass !!!!!

It can be done, but I have sometimes found it a bit temperamental and have had to set the connection up initially using a cable, and have then been able to use it over Bluetooth.

I now prefer to use Joikuspot, which allows you to use the phone as a Wifi access point. Nothing to install on any of the computers for which you want to use the N97 as an access point, and a faster connection than via Bluetooth.

You got it lol

After a little testing you're right, it does it when it feels like it.

As said "smartphone my ass"

Don't forget to add initialization string at advanced modem options on your PC before connecting. (google it)
