[mmdfarook]

what ur trying to do is hell of a task. i have been searching through internet about ur problems as i found the topic very interesting, as far as my understanding. u would need to define a protocol first between bluetooth devices of PC and phone. u would need to make an application on ur computer and mobile phone which will receive ur messages via bluetooth and then perform operations accordingly. u would also need to access the internet in ur PC and convert the responses according to protocol.its going to be tough, time consuming operation. ALso with such operations i have not not searched about phone limitations if there any which might raise new issues all together.

Search for "gnubox"; maybe it'll help (it presumably already does what you want to do, for some phones, at least).

[mmdfarook]

Hi petrib,

"Gnubox" is the symbian c++ application.Let me know if you have any idea if the same functionality can be achieved through j2me(JSR-82) application.


Thanks,
Farook.

I very much doubt that the same functionality can be achived through J2ME (especially not, if you want it to be accessible to any other application running on the same device).

I have an interesting application somewhat like this request. (But it seems I come here late )
@mmdfarook: you can have a look at my small application. My app is just a J2ME browser (with limited functionality) that enables mobile phone to surf the web (yes, just surfing the web, no email, no chat ) over a Bluetooth connection with a nearby PC.

@nicenouman: it's really hell of a task Lots of work must be done to make it more useful. That's why I will make it open-source in the near future (hoping someone will contribute to my project).

The application is not there anymore, Can You please Upload it again (Mediafire.com will be better)
Might be English localization is also added, Please Upload that too...

Hi

I am looking for the same answer please?

cordially

The mentioned MIDlet was created by Phan Tuấn Dũng (Hanoi, Vietnam) and is called Blue Bond.

Please note, that solution is a small J2ME web browser and a Bluetooth-PAN gateway installed on your computer. As Nolido noticed, it would be a lot of effort to create a full-blown browser like Opera Mini or even the Nokia built-in ones. Therefore, please, consider to buy a Nokia with WLAN capabilities.
