Hi,

I have an Axim x30 624 with Bluetooth and WiFi...my question is...is there any other way to connect to the Web other than using a Bluetooth compatable phone. In other words, is there some other device I could use without spending extra money on a new phone...thanks for any information provided....Pat

There's a Bluetooth Access Point, which can be connected to your LAN (home or office), and you can connect to it. Another option is a Bluetooth adapter on your computer. But the real thing is coverage: these solutions are good for 10m around the area. The mobile phone is slower, but gives access to the Internet wherever you are (providing you have a signal of course).

I forgot to ask...what is the best phone to use with my Axim x30? Thanks
Is there a difference in phones...or will any Bluetooth enabled phone do the job?

Any Bluetooth enabled phone will do the job. You shouldn't need to buy a more expensive phone, because some will have PDA functions that you won't need. The cheaper the better. You'll also need to have a GPRS service added to your mobile account.
