I'm currently looking at using the N810 as an alternative to rolling out Blackberry services at my organisation (a medium sized NHS Trust). There are a number of reasons for this, the cost of delivering the Blackberry solution, the (low) number of users who actually need this service and the restricted access to documents that BB devices offer.
The way I'm proposing to do this is via a VPN link into a dedicated Terminal Server machine on my network. This offers access to pretty much any application the Trust uses and not just push email.
I have tested the setup using our standard HTC 730W (Windows Mobile) phones and the Bluetooth PAN hack and all seems to work well, applications are usable and input is properly recognised. However the HTC phones require manual intervention before each Bluetooth connection can be created, which won't be acceptable for the (non-technical) users who I'm targetting.
Does anyone have any experience of a small, HSDPA compatible, bluetooth phone which can be left with bluetooth switched on (but not discoverable) and will accept repeated connections and disconnections without requiring the user to press buttons or restart bluetooth? I'm leaning towards the 6120c as a possible choice, so I'd be interested in comments either way...
Thanks
