hi. I've been trying to connect my axim x51v (with windows mobile 2005) to the internet through bluetooth, but so far I've just been able to synchronize it with activesync using a usb bluetooth dongle. I've noticed that the bluetooth options in windows mobile 2005 are quite reduced from the previous version. is there anything to do about it? Thanx.

When I connect to Activesync over Bluetooth, I automatically am connected to the internet as long as the desktop is connected. Double check your BT serial port settings on the desktop and on the Axim.

If you have a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone it maybe worth trying to pair your mobile phone to your PDA. It worked for me.

Not sure if you can make calls to your ISP on your mobile phone at a reasonable cost, but it maybe worth a try...

You can connect via BT to your mobile for Verizon, it only costs minutes, less nights and weekends. FYI, I found out that V-Cast capable phones currently cannot connect to the internet b/c Verizon realized that they allow broadband speeds for free so they disabled it. Verizon support informed me that they are working on a fix to differentiate between broadband and non-bb subscribers using V-Cast so they can allow low-speed dial up again.
