Nokia N70 and Palm TX

Hi;

I'm recently acquired a shiny new Palm TX. Which is lovely and sexy and etc.

I'd like to use my phone as a bluetooth modem with it; currently I've got
a Nokia 6600, but, to cut a long story short, the firmware is broken and it
doesn't work.

Now, I'm long overdue an upgrade, and was wondering about the N70, as it
seems like a logical sort of successor to the 6600. But for all my digging
around I can't find any success stories - or otherwise - about using it as
a modem with a TX.

Does anyone have any related experiences? It'd be on Orange, if that makes
any difference.

Cheers;
Chris

I use a T2 and a 6230 as a modem. Works perfectly.

Orange is definitely the provider to be on if you are using GPRS.

I've had said TX working with a 7610, and a friend reports success with his
6230i too. But after the dodginess with my 6600 I'd rather get positive
confirmation first...

That's heartening to know; the N70 is also a 3G phone - any idea whether that's
going to be an issue?

But not if you want a phone as the manufacturer intended.

Hi Chris

I'm afraid I've not got an N70 to try out, but I've managed to use my TX
with a SE K750i, Motorola L6, and a Nokia 7600 without any problems.

The L6 was the cheapest Bluetooth-capable handset I could find (for the
Orange PAYG £1/day GPRS deal) - free (with 12 months free line rental
and 200 min + 100 texts/month ).

I wanted to make sure it was OK before buying it so I posted on the
Brighthand forums - there's a TX one located at:

http://discussion.brighthand.com/pal...s=&forumid=182

Someone there may have tried the N70 and be able to confirm for you.

Cheers
