brilliant advice guy’s.
But isn’t there an issue with the data transfer speed of BT itself?
You’re 3G phone might be connected at 3.6Mbps but the BT connection between phone and PC is limited to 2Mbps?on a side note, anyone know of a really cheap 3G enabled phone that can be used for this?
[/quote1229127957]I don’t use a 3G connection as theres no coverage where I live! I use my Orange Internet GPRS connection its actually not too slow about 115 kbps. Fast enough to web browse anyway. I figure this is a good alternative to USB sticks as 3G coverage is patchy in parts of the UK but mobile coverage is not and the data cost is not bad (£7.50 for 250mb a month on Orange PAYG)
And you don’t have a big ugly stick pointing out of your cool NC10!!
(Rsaeire thanks for your guide I didnt see it till i’d posted my learnings)

yea i did it with my nokia, im on o2 and have the unlimited web bolt on. it isnt as slow as u may think, its actually quite fast. it is so handy as i travel back and forth from N.Ireland to Scotland quite often.
[/quote1229124898]Cool. This might be a nice alternative to 3G dongles for some people then. I’ve just found out how to use it.
For people wanting to know how to do this (this may not work for everyone I am on Orange):
1. Right click the Bluetooth icon in the tray and select “add a bluetooth device” (turn on your bluetooth on your mobile obviously)
2. Select your phone from the devices found. press next
3. You are asked which services you are interested in, make sure you select Dial Up Networking press next.
4. Enter a pairing code, you must enter the same on both devices click next. Your phone should be paired. XP will install some drivers for a bluetooth modem please wait!Then open My Bluetooth Places on the desktop:
5. Select Dial Up Networking
6. For the phone number use *99# (leave username and password blank)
NOTE: This will instruct the phone to use the default or 1st GPRS profile on your phone. If you have multiple profiles GPRS profiles on your phone and you do not want to use the default profile, the change the phone number to *99*n# and replace the n with number 1-9 of the profile you want to use.
7. Click connect and away you go!The speakers are pretty average lets face it. They’re the only thing I don’t like on the NC10. Listening with headphones is ok if you tweak the EQ settings in the Realtek panel
By decals do you mean that there is a transparent ‘glow’ around the letters when they catch the light? If so its not just the white version its on the black version too and I don’t think theres anything to worry about.
Two display adapter listed as one is for VGA output. Two processors because there is hyperthreading on the Atom CPU.
Yeh I found that tweak on an Eee user forum but I can’t see any difference in the games I play. Although apparantly it gives you better performance in GTA San Andreas.
It looks very similar to the one I got for £10 from Staples but mine is a portable DVD player case. It is a great case though I agree!
So what is that Advent 4489 model? Looks like an MSI Wind with a smaller screen? If so thats a good price at £199
