The thought of being able to hop on the Internet at an Internet-less cafe or airport was appealing, so I took a look at getting that set up for my Sony Ericsson k750i and the handy MacBook.
After some googling and in less than 10 minutes, I was able to set up a connection over bluetooth to the Internet and it’s impressive! While it’s not the fastest connection, the absolute convenience outweights any slowness. It’s just one more reason to love the trusty k750i. Here are a couple links to help any one else looking to do the same:
If you are using T-Mobile and it’s $5.99/month unlimited plan, just follow the readme instruction from the phone script zipped file and use “Sony Ericsson GPRS CID1” and you’ll be all set to go.
