Can i just get a USB Bluetooth Adapter? i was thinking of this:

How much does the gprs connection cost?

I am really a novice in these types of things and would like some help!!

Yes, that would work. I suppose you're in UK. You'll need a GPRS plan, but I'm not sure about cost over there. In general you only pay for what you use, with a plan that includes a certain allowance (sometimes up to 50MB). Then you'd pay per KB used after the allowance.

In the US some operators are now offering unlimited use plans, or even free plans, completely included in the contract.
