I assume you want to use the 6230 for Bluetooth dialup with GPRS.

Here are basic instructions for Pocket PC 2003, I don't remember if it's any
different in PPC 2002:

- Enter Internet GPRS modem settings in the 6230 according to your
operator's instructions.
- Go to the Bluetooth settings of the h2210 and create a pair with the 6230.
- When paired, enter *99# (without area codes) as the phone number.

If you cannot succesfully pair the 6230 and h2210, you probably need the ROM
update from HP:

Thanks the problem is that I can not get to "Pair" it fails always with any
number I input. Seems a Bug with the Nokia!

Your problem is most likely the same many others are having. Nokia has
changed their Bluetooth implementation in the few latest models so that unit
keys pairing is no longer support, because it has some security issues.
These models (such as the 6230, 6810, 6820, 7200, etc.) only support
combination keys pairing which then again many Palm OS ja Pocket PC devices
don't yet support.

Many people remember when a bit similar security flaws were found in the
WiFi (802.11b) protocol. Access point manufacturers updated their hardware
so fast that many wireless clients had compatibility issues for some time. I
can't say whose fault these are, but certainly they're are a problem for
customers.
