Microsoft Smartphone and Windows XP - the best duo for mobile Internet over Bluetooth June 12, 2004 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)] | By Edward J. R. Times are over when users of notebooks were forced to use non-Windows mobiles (like Sony Ericsson or Nokia) to access Internet wirelessly. Now, thanks to Microsoft smartphone phones with Bluetooth, mobile Internet has become a bliss. Here we demonstrate how extremely easy and comfortable it is nowadays to use Bluetooth between these 2 types of devices. So, similarly as Homer Simpson asked "where is the ANY key?" ... we can ask where is the BLUETOOTH key? The answer is simple: it is the one on the right side of the Wi-Fi key (second from the left, over the F5 key): 
So let's see what happens if we will press this Bluetooth key! After pressing it we can observe on the display of the notebook in the good old OSD-style (OSD = On Screen Display - as in video recorders) the text that says "Bluetooth Enabled": 
Now we press and hold down the Home button of our Microsoft Smartphone (yes, it is the button with picture of the home on it) and then we can observe the following menu: 
Where we press 3, 3, Soft-key "Done", Soft-key "Done", and here it is, the Bluetooth in our smartphone is turned on! : 
OK, so now once we have Bluetooth activated both in notebook and in Microsoft Smartphone, we are ready to connect to Internet! So we do "Start menu / Connect with Bluetooth connection" and dial-up dialog with #99* dial-up number appears (in most cases it is enough to connect to Internet over GPRS) and after short dialing up, we see that the connection to the Internet is established: 
Where you observe also icon of the Bluetooth that is green (green = Bluetooth connection is active; white = Bluetooth is enabled but no connection active; red = Buletooth is disabled). Now, while using Internet over Bluetooth we can observe fantastic Bluetooth blue light effects on the notebook: 
... and on Microsoft Smartphone we can see in title bar the Bluetooth icon in the middle and Internet connection icon to the right: 
After we are ready with connecting to the Internet over Bluetooth with Microsoft Smartphone, we may wish to press the Bluetooth key again to disable Bluetooh (just in case): 
As you can see above using Bluetooth connection to the Internet with Windows XP and Microsoft Smartphone is extremely easy and just a matter of some key presses. Who needs Nokia or Sony Ericsson in this case? Nobody!  Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]
