    Hiyall, :)

    hopefully somone here can give me sum advice on this....

    Bought a new iPAQ last week (nearly €700, bought on the drip lol) ...its a h5450, and I adore it! :)

    Problem is, I kinda wanted it so I could access my hotmail and surf a bit without needing to carry a whole laptop around....

    It has wifi and bluetooth, so I am guessing the best way for me to do this would be via a bluetooth mobile?
    Currently I own a nokia 5510, the one with the "QWERTY" and the MP3 / radio built in... but no bluetooth I am sad to say.

    Is there such a thing as a reasonably priced "budget" mobile with bluetooth?
    And what exactly *IS* wifi? for some reason, when i am in work it tells me wifi is available but i have no idea how to take advantage of that lol :)

    The thing also has a SIM slot in the back of it, but for SOME reason a hp sticker is on it saying if i remove it the warrenty will be void! And having paid muchos cash for this and insurance I am reluctant to do anything that might not be fixable lol :)

    hope somone here can advise, preferably on where / how to get a *cheap* bluetooth phone, and how to set it up once I do that.

    Thnx,

    B

    If you have a wireless network in work, that allows you to use the connection to surf the net then you shouldn't have too much trouble, provided you're friendly with the network administrator :D . I don't know of any mobiles that have wifi, just bluetooth. Two different technologies, so you'd have to choose one or the other.
