Hi,

I have a iPAQ 3850 and am loking at buying a new phone equiped with
GPRS and Bluetooth. The phone I am looking at is a Nokia 3650.

I need to add bluetooth to my iPAQ so I was looking at something like
the TDK Bluetooth jacket with CF slot which is here:-

How easy is this to configure?

Also I am looking at setting up a wireless LAN in my house so I wanted
to add WiFi ability via the CF slot in the TDK jacket above. Is there
an issue with having both Bluetooth and WiFi running together? I doubt
I would be using both technologies together but I do not fiddle around
too much when I switch from accessing the net through the GPRS phone
(via Bluetooth) and through my ADSL connection (via WiFi).

Thanks for any information.

Andy

You may wan to take a look at the Bluetooth guides here;

You do know that you can use Bluetooth to connect to your ADSL connection? I
have a 5455 that I often have both the Bluetooth and 802.11b on at the same
time. But to some extent it depends on your hardware. If you get the
cheapest you can find, you should expect problems. Also if one computer can
be reached by more than one means you may find problems.
