It has been several months since comments were first posted about using bluetooth to connect laptops to the internet using the Treo 650. Sprint was going to add this capability. Has it done so?

    I am curious to know if anyone has further updates on the Treo 650 on the Sprint network -- can it officially be used on the regular voice plan (naturally deducting the associated minutes as used by the computer or voice from your particular voice plan)?

    Why should Sprint care if I use my computer to chew up minutes vs. my voice?

    If I buy a BlueTooth adapter for the USB Port on my computer -- will it work with the Laptop as a way to modem through the BlueTooth on the Treo 650? DO I need to use the Data Cable which Treo 650 provides for Syncing the Outlook contacts?

    thanks much everyone.

      Hi, I just came across with this issue.
      I am planning on getting a treo 650 through sprint. I did some research. The funny thing is that monthly, I recieve the Popular Science Magazine, which had a whole article on the new smart phones. Any ways, on that magazine the May issue has an article that tells you how to update your phone to be able to use it as a dial up connection via blue tooth. Apparently sprint didn't want custumers to know about this, but a well known hacker discover the way to do it. Please check it out and I am sure you will find a way to conect.
