First, dude, you really need to pay more attention in English class...

Second, your information is completely incorrect. You can attach a Bluetooth
phone to a PDA, such as a PPC or a Palm, and using a Cingular data account
access the Internet.

Here is the password information you need

GPRS Username WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
GPRS Password CINGULAR1
(all caps in both instances)

The phone number you need to use is *99#

I don't know how to configure the PPC so someone else will have to give you
the specifics on that. Try this site/document for more information on the
settings for Cingular accounts.

enabled phone to access the Internet.
