It's possible, but will depend on your mobile operator, and plans available.
Some operators do not give full access to the Internet, others do but charge
an extra.

Technically is ok, check with your operator. Also, it's important to know if
you're on a GSM or a CDMA network. Most CDMA networks don't (currently) have
a Bluetooth enabled cellphone.

My operator uses GSM, and their technical support doesnt know anything
except whatever is available on their computer screen, they are no help.

You can drop the operator's name here and probably someone will give you the
configuration. But you still need to have data enabled on your account.

For what it is worth I bluetooth (wirelessly) connect my PocketPC and via
ActiveSync use the laptop computer to be my modem and get usual web pages on
the PPC.

The laptop is effectively being replaced by your cell phone. In the UK
however I assume the mobile phone needs "data services" enabled from the
operator and billing is by the kB (not by time).

Bluetooth is a bit slow and downloading graphic hungry web pages will cost
LOTS. ABout £1 to £4 per MB from most UK networks.

This is not a Bluetooth problem:

a) Mobile phones connect to the Internet using GPRS or CDMA, and this is the
bottleneck for speed
b) Mobile operators charge for the use of GPRS or CDMA, not for the use of
Bluetooth

I don't have GPRS or CDMA enabled by T-Mobile, but I can use my
Sony-Ericcson T610 essentially as a bluetooth modem and
dial up my ISP. It isn't very fast (~2400 baud), but it works.

If I have a Ipaq2415 and a Nokia 6230 what do I have to do to get
internet access. I already have a dial up ISP and bluetooth
connectivity between the two.
