Lo all,

I wonder if any of you can give me advice; I've just got a nokia 8210 (it's almost as cute as :imu:!) and I want to connect using my laptop & it to the interent (Me thinks the lag on games will be too much tho :( so just e-mail & some web).

I already have the data cable for the 8210 and the datasuite software but no instructions <ahem :E> so what do I do???

Any advice/ experiences of mobile connections ?????

Cheers guys,

Spiros

Bah they smell big time,

I think u would need some sort of PCMCIA data card for ure phone,

Even if you did get one the transfer rate on one is summat like 9,333kbps compared to the 56k 46,667 & upwards,

I know the connection is slow but I only really need it for e-mail on the move.

Plus I won't need the modem 'cos the 8210 is one of the models with a proper modem built in.

I have discovered that it is poss to connect using IRDA but I don't have an infra red port on me pooter and an external one is about £77. :(

Anyway cheers for the help. Anyone else?
