The customer service would keep telling me that I could not use Bluetooth because I had not purchased the "tethering package". I was at the end of my contract and so, I switched to T-Mobile. It not only connects vis Bluetooth to do GPRS, I am also able to use Bluetooth to dial out to a 56K modem pool. Its slow, but works in a pinch. Now, this may not apply to you, because you seem to have purchased the Edge package, but for me, it was one more reason to not go with AT&T. cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Systems San Francisco State University San Francisco CA 94132 USA http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://opensource.sfsu.edu/ _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
