    Default Bluetooth and 2 functions

    Obviously, I am new to Bluetooth, thus the possibly dumb ?
    I have a Bluetooth adapter on my laptop.
    Is it possible to use the same adapter for Syncing AND use it as my internet connector, using my 650 and my Biz Conn as the ISP provider?

    Thanks
    DL :confused:

    This contradicts your previous question in the other thread. Do you have BT built into your laptop already? Your other thread suggests that you don't but wanted to add, thus the link I posted for a BT adapter. If you have BT built into your laptop, you will not need the BT adapter that I suggested from D-link.

    Default 2 options

    My first post was asking for a suggestion. The D-Link is what I had been looking st and I picked one up this afternoon.

    My second post is aking if i can use the same d-link adapter to both sync and access the internet , on my laptop. The d-link is on the laptop.

    Thanks for your quick reply and I'm sorry that I didn't make myself clear

    Sorry about that. You just had me a little confused there for a minute. I didn't want you to buy something that you didn't need.
    You cannot use your treo's BT capabilities to access the internet via your laptop. At least not officially with a 650 and Sprint. They have disabled that feature of the 650 (which is capable of doing it normally). So at the moment you can only hot sync and use a BT headset with your treo.
    Now, not to throw you off track but there is a hacked version of the ROM that will allow you to enable this but I would not necessarily recommend that you do so. Kinda of a "do it at your own risk" thing.
