The last few days have been an absolute marathon. Not matter how "household" we believe the terms "Bluetooth" and "3G" to be it seems that getting the pair to talk is not that easy, especially when you throw-in an eo and the Motorola A1000. As I hang up the phone with my sixth Support-Staff member he whispers to me: "so how did you get it to work?" Little did I know, three days ago, that this simple task would turn into a revolution in computing terms?
I'll post a video soon but here is what I've done:
- Motorola A1000 phone talks to eo UMPC via Bluetooth, connects to 3G pipe via Three Mobile.
- Sony Ericson T610 talks to eo UMPC via Bluetooth, connects to GPRS pipe via Vodafone Network.
- BlackBerry 7290 talks to eo UMPC via USB cable and BlackBerry Desktop Manager Version 4.0.0.30, connects to GPRS pipe via Vodafone.
I can't wait to tell you all about it. Hopefully this little task can serve as reference to you all soon.
