Internet on laptop via Wap?

Is it possible to use the wap on my P800 and the cradle to access the
internet?
If not, does anyone know if 0845 comes out of o2 onlin's free minutes?

I don't know about the cradle, but you can via a serial cable,
infra-red, or (my preference) Bluetooth. See SE's website and the link
below. Also, your connection will be via GPRS, not WAP. Wireless
Application Protocol is what is used to provide content for mobile
devices that do not support HTML whereas the General (or GSM) Packet
Radio System is the wireless data network infrastructure used by GSM
wireless carriers. Q.v. http://www.wapforum.org/ and

Beg to differ... last academic year I used SonyEricsson T68i, tecom usb BT
dongle, normal pc and bt genie (now o2 online) contract sim. Connected using
winxp DUN to 915000 , the wap number, and got a nice http connection out of
it. the wap gateway even compresses pictures en route to make the most of
the 9600 connection!

It was a bit unreliable, sometimes the connection would give up (not hang
up, just stop responding) after a minute or two... most of the time was no
problems at all, but there were occasions when i left it on for 11hrs at a
time to keep my email bang up to date ;-)

ps. i would've posted on here sooner about this but i wanted to milk the
free wap for all its worth !

Your provider may have called it the "wap system" but you were using
GSM/GPRS to actually connect. WAP is the protocol not the method by which
you connect to the service/Internet. The original reply was correct.
