    Hi

    I have setup my Sony Ericsson K800i as a bluetooth modem to my laptop.
    I get a speed of 115 Kbps when Im connected to the 2G or on the 3G O2 Network.
    Has anyone got faster speeds?
    Im in Athlone.

    Cheers

    I thought of that,and I connected my mobile to the laptop by the USB cable and Im still getting 115 kbps.
    So im guessing its the network setting the speed at 115kbps and not a 3G speed of 1Mbps or whatever.

    No your right when I looked at the modem settings in the control panel, both the bluetooth and USB modem are limited to 115 kbps !!
    So i cant get faster than that !!

    Got the speed up to 921600 by changing the option in
    "Network and Dial-up Connections" and right clicking on the bluetooth dial up connection.
    Its a pity that Windows limits this to 921600kbps, as you could get a higher speed if the 3G network has HSDPA

    3G is only 384Kbps afaik.

    HSDPA is 3.6Mbps, moot point consider the K800i doesnt support HSDPA.

    How did you get the modem working? Im still struggling with mine.. : (

    Yeah your right about it not supporting HSDPA, but it seems a bit faster now that I have increased the settings.

    Ok to get my k800i working on O2, I had bluetooth and the SE PC Suite working fine, i.e any time I had bluetooth on in my phone and laptop they would connect.

    Then it was quiet easy
    In the K800i goto
    Settings---> Connecectivity---> bluetooth---> bluetooth Internet
    I have selected the O2 GPRS data account
    (that I got from the SE Web page)

    Back on my latop. open the SE PC suite, when the k800i is connected, click
    on Mobile Network Wizard
    Click New Conenction --->
    Packet Switched
    In the Modem --> bluetooth Modem ---> Comm 6 (on my laptop)
    Logon click next
    GPRS/3g

    I selected the "internet" from the listed of data accounts and finish

    Worked first time when I tried to surf the web

    Silly question but what are the settings for 3g access on o2? I have a 3g sim and phone. But I was told they didn't have it active till May or something.

    Which 3G settings do you want?

    If your WAP browser is working on the phone and you have the 3G icon on the top line of the phone, then your using 3G

    If you dont have 3G icon, either your not in a cell that has 3G or you dont have it enabled on the phone.
    Settings ---? Connectivity--->Mobile Networks ---> GSM/3G Networks
    * GSM and 3G
    If you have 3G enabled you will notice your battery running down a bit faster, so if you not using 3G just leave GSM only option in the above menu
