How do I get on internet from nokia 770 (3 broadband)

    Hello folks,

    Not sure if I should be posting in this forum, but it seemed the closest to what I'll be asking, so I risked it! Basically, I have 3 mobile 'broadband'. I also have a nokia 770 and a sharp 550sh 3g phone which was initially vodafone but has been unlocked. I'd like to put the sim into the mobile and connect via bluetooth to get internet access from my nokia 770. Is this possible? I know it wouldn't reach the broadband speeds (hah hah hah :D ) but I'd settle for anything just to be able to browse anywhere.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The settings for 3 are in the operator settings sticky at the top of the forum.

    There's a small mistake in them though. It says the homepage is mobile.3ireland.ie/bb... but its mobile.3ireland.ie/hb...

    Do you want to use it on the phone or plugged into a laptop?

    Should automatically be able to connect once you pair both devices. I've never had a problem with it on my 770 via a few handsets. Pretty much leave all settings at default and away you go.

    Thanks for the continued assistance! I took a look at those settings in the sticky before - I can't figure out what goes where in my phone :(

    Ok, more detail about the problem below, headings suggested by the sticky above:

    Operator - 3
    Type of account - 3 mobile broadband pay monthly
    Make/model handset - Sharp 550sh. Was vodafone, but unlocked.
    No error messages, as I don't know how to try to make it connect :)
    PDA - well, of sorts.. nokia 770
    Connecting via bluetooth, built in software.

    Now.. the internet settings on the phone have the following editable options:

    Internet settings
    Wap settings
    Profile Name
    Proxy
    Use proxy (on/off)

    Streaming Settings
    Profile name
    Proxy address
    Proxy port number (default 554)
    Access Point

    Proxy Settings
    Proxy Name
    Proxy Address
    Access Point
    Home
    Port number (default 80)
    Authentication type (HTTP-Basic or HTTP-Digest)
    User name
    Password

    Access Point Settings
    Access Point Name
    APN
    Authentication type (PAP, CHAP or NONE)
    User name
    Password
    DNS
    Linger Time (in seconds)

    Re-provisioning Settings
    Execute Pending (no idea what this does, but its a command, not a changeable option like the others)

    The tabs are basically there to indicate sub-options under a particular header. EDIT: Tabs didn't show, so I've made headers in bold instead. So you see, my problem is that those options don't directly correspond to the ones on the sticky above, so I don't know what to set up where. The sticky states:

    Connection Name: 3
    Data Bearer: Packet Data
    Access Point Name: 3ireland.ie
    User name: -
    Prompt Password: No
    Password: -
    Authentication: Normal
    Homepage: http://mobile.3ireland.ie/bb/HutchKey
    Network Type: IPv4
    Phone IP address: Automatic
    DNS address: Automatic
    Proxy server address: None
    Proxy port number: 0


    Thanks again!
