I have a Motorola V525; I want to access the internet from my laptop while
travelling. So what i understand is that you can use the bluetooth
technology to enable communication between the phone and the laptop.
Now, my phone is using the GPRS gateway; I have heard two things:-
* The speed will be the same speed as my WAP browsing (then the
connection will be real slow on my laptop)
* When using GPRS you could go up to 33.6Kbps.
From what i understand the phone must've a built in modem; and it'll be the
same speed for both WAP and browsing Internet via bluetooth. BUT then what's
the point??? it will be real slow as WAP pages are like 1/10 the size of
real pages and still the phone has to send and recive data for about 20secs.
IF SO; what speed is the modem in the V525, IF NOT; Which one of the two
statements above are correct; IF NOT could some pls. resolve my problem
(BASICALLY, What's the speed of the V525 modem??) as Vodafone New Zealand
has no idea.
Thanx alot. All help appreciated.

I think the phone can be set to use GPRS or HCSD. Check which your phone is
using for WAP. GPRS should be higher speed, but it depends on the state of
the local network, and whether enough capacity has been allocated for the
service.
Users in one forum reported various GPRS speeds from networks around the
world - under 1 Kbps to 40 Kbps.
