Use Bluetooth PC adaptr to access web on N800?
 
We don't have 802.x WiFi at work. If I get a Bluetooth adapter for my PC, will I be able to access the Internet on the N800 via that Bluetooth?

Thanks for any help. I'm getting ready to buy an N800 this weekend!!!

Yes, you can access the web via Bluetooth interface...but is BT interface primarily intended for use to interface with cell phone for both voice and data/web connectivity.

For accessing web on N800 at home/office or anywhere there is wifi , the best method is to use wifi/wireless lan ..because the access speed is can be faster than bluetooth and has more bandwidth then bluetooth. and has larger range ...in order ot 100s of meter..unlike bluetooth in only 30 feet.

I realize WiFi is best, but I don't have it at work.

So, thanks for the info that I can BT to the Web via my PC. Anything I need to know about how? I can research the specifics, but I'm wondering for example: will I need admin access to my PC?

Thanks again for the answer. I can't wait get my N800!
