I received an ipaq 4150 for Christmas, and am now in the market for a BT phone to use as a wireless modem. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what to look for in a new phone or service or even what features to ask about. Perhaps you can help.
Will any BT phone work? Do I need a special service plan? Are there any other things I should be checking into? Qwest, Verizon, and T-mobile are all available in my area.
I am currently with Qwest wireless but can change. My ISP is ATT dialup.
TIA

Any carrier that supports data and carry Bluetooth phones will do. Doesn't matter which phone as long as it's got BT built-in.

Thanks for your reply. I ended up getting an SE T610 phone and Tmobile service with the data plan. Very nice setup! I can now access the web with both my pda and my laptop through GPRS anywhere I need to.
If only the GPRS were a little faster.
Anyways, thanks again for your help!
