[maemo-users] [maemo-users] US users of Nokia 770 - compatibility with Bluetooth-enabled cellphone as modem

[From: david feldman]

Hello,

I am preparing to replace my cell phone (on the verizon network, hence the 
US-specific question).

I wish to use the phone to serve as a modem with my Nokia 770, using 
bluetooth as the link between the two devices. I have done this successfully 
in the past, however, not with any of the phones that are now available to 
me as choices.

The choices I have for phones are based on this URL:

http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/compare.php?id%5B%5D=905&id%5B%5D=980&id%5B%5D=704&id%5B%5D=953&id%5B%5D=950

which yields these choices:

LG VX-8300
LG VX-8500
LG VX-9800
Motorola RAZR V3m
Samsung SCH-A990

It appears all five of these offer DUN (dial-up networking) profile on 
Bluetooth, along with Verizon's 1xEVDO (high speed data) network service.

My question is this - have you had any experience integrating any of these 
five phones with the Nokia 770 for wireless wide-area Internet access, or do 
you know of any resource that could help me pre-confirm interoperability? I 
am asking this question because the carrier (Verizon Wireless) offered data 
integration kit only pertains to Windows computers, and in fact I will need 
to do the integration manually (figuring out the AT DT type dialing 
information and such) and won't be able to get vendor support.

Very thanks for any advice,

Dave
