Can you connect Nokia 6600 to net through PC

02-15-2004, 01:49 AM

Has anyone done this? and if so what did you do to connect the Nokia 6600 to
the internet through a PC using the bluetooth interface and ADSL internet
connection.

Many Thanks for any help advise you can give on this topic.

unfortunately, NO

6600 uses Wap2.0 and that does not allow some DHCP function to work,
effectively killing any way of connecting via the way you described.

my NGage and the 7650/3650 can do it since it uses an earlier version of
WAP...

sorry...

now i feel better having an Ngage...hehe

cheers

Thanks A_dude for the reply, but that sucks not the reply but Nokia not
allowing it.

Wonder if they will do a fix in a firmware update?

I could hook my 3650 to the net via my PC's broadband connection?
Wow! Now that I have the ability, all I need is the desire!

Seriously, why would one want to surf the web with an akward phone
browser when they a within 10 meters of a PC?

02-17-2004, 01:34 AM

To retrieve email? To get apps/games from a WAP site? To mention a few ..

Java games that have auto updates available from WAP?

I can do that with GPRS when I'm out. If I'm home I'll download
e-mail, games etc. to my PC and transfer them.

I'm spoiled I guess... I'm a T-Mobile USA user so I get free WAP over
GPRS.

I do connect my Pocket PC to the 'net at home via wi-fi (to surf in
bed), and I find it's small screen (4x the size of my Nokia 3650,
though) and stylus input strains usability as far as I'm willing to
go. The thought of voluntarily using my mobile as an internet
terminal at home with it's stamp size screen and predictive text entry
gives me the willies!

To each his (or her) own, I guess! ;-)

Not really-again, if you're using bluetooth you're within spitting
distance of your PC. Playing games on my mobile 10 feet from a real
computer is like playing a Game Boy sitting in front of an XBox, or
watching an MPEG movie on your mobile in the same room as your hi-def
home theater!

Maybe I've just never seen the charm in mobile gaming- I understand it
if I'm bored and stuck at the airport, but to intentional fire up my
Nokia to play a game when I'm standing next to a computer? Not I!

its 10 meters not feet! 10 meters radius equals 20 meters diameter....so you
understand the coverage now?

and for the slow americans who most can't even name a country starting with
U....10 meters is approx 30 feet...

and it virtually covers my whole house mate....i can go anywhere around my
place and still be connected...get it?

and how about multi-player gaming, or when someone else in the house is
using the computer?

get it?

cheers

So? a lot of people dont get free GPRS .. infact, my provider wont even GIVE
me grps on the plan i'm on .. Transfering stuff works fine, but why not just
do it direct if you can?

The NGage is designed to be a game-boy style gaming machine and atcually
have some good titles .. the 6600 can run quite a few of these titles quite
well, so its not alltogether a strange concept .. maybe just to you ..
