Tethering NEC 900C to WM 5 Pocket PC Phone

I'm wondering about the possibility of tethering a NEC 900C to a WM 5 Pocket PC Phone. I have an HTC Trinity that has an "Internet Sharing" program that operates via usb or bluetooth through ActiveSync 4.2 on my laptop tp provide high speed data on the Cingular 3G network. I was wondering if the same would be possible with a 900C cabled to my Pocket PC phone? Anybody tried this, or know if it's theoretically possible? It would be pretty cool if it did.

thanks,

yes, should work.. it does work with my wm5 phone. over bluetooth. usb wouldn't be possible, needs a driver.

So what bluetooth connectivity are you using? Something from socket? Where did you get it? I had a feeling it could be done, even though Sambit at Thaddeus computing thought otherwise.

Thanks,

Yeah, the Socket Bluetooth card should do this just fine.

yes i tried it with a socket card

on the other hand the 3com bluetooth doesnt really work, beware.

didnt test my other bt cards, can if you want.

Cmonex,

Is there a model number that goes with the socket card that you use?

mainly the older blue version, and there afaik, anything is ok from rev F to H (i have F), some rev E 's sometiems have problems, or maybe it's just one of mine that is strange.

I did some research over the weekend, and it appears that if you get past a certain revision of Windows Mobile 5 (Mine is OS 5.1.465(Build 15673.3.3.1)) the capability to use bluetooth or usb as a dial up network is disabled in preference to the new "Internet Sharing" Software. This software works really well with my laptop (I'm using it right now over a usb connection), but I'm doubtful that it could be used with a NEC 900c or other H/PC. What do the rest of you think?

cmonex--What kind of phone are you using (and which build)?

thanks,

David

i use AKU2.0 (yours is version 3.-something) so it has plain DUN (qtek 9000). i didnt think of the possibility that you would have internet sharing instead. i don't know if it works better than DUN or not, no experience with it on anything whatsoever.

Anyone had success using internet sharing (bluetooth PAN) between NEC 900c shipped with Socket bluetooth CF card and cell phone Trinity like?

yes is possible with a bt card that works with bluesoleil orwiddcom drivers

I have a Socket bluetooth card. do you think could it work?

rgisondi, the Socket card is Drakar-based, and is still supposed to be able to handle Bluetooth PAN. (At least it claims to - I admit I can't say how to make it work, though, since I haven't tried it myself. )

So...nobody has managed to have Socket bluetooth running bluetooth PAN yet?

There must be someone that has it working!

One time I tried with socket but without success, I currentlykloin use pan for internet connection with my s3 and jornada but with a belklin o a digitus (mavin) bt card
