Re: Help with Dell x51V

The advantage of McDonalds (at least here in the UK) is that they often have free WiFi..... This way you X51 will connect direct to the Internet without needing any other cards or phone connections!

Does your phone support BT? If so you should be able to pair the devices and use your phone as a modem, over the BT link.

no the phone i just picked up for her does not but was willing to exchange it.
while i think the other way might be easier for my wife and may even give her faster speeds
then having the signal first go to the phone then jump wirelessly to the PDA.
then again having the gprs cf card will make the PDA a bit bigger.
my wife is even less tech than i am so i think what is the easiest will be the better of the 2.
i am very thankful for your replies. it is hard getting the right answer from the help at sprint.
it seems that they higher Mcdonalds employees.

I hope someone can help me with this.
I am trying to figure out how to connect to the internet with my PDA like
I do with a cell phone.
do I have to use my cell phone as a modem or is there another way?
I already have a Phone as modem dataplan with sprint and their sales people are not much help.
if there is a better way please help.
