Hi all, first post.

I checked out the forums and searched for this topic but couldnt find it, if there is a thread about this please direct me to it, thanks!

My question is, I was planning on getting a Nokia N810 for my car, as well as a bluetooth mini-keyboard of sort to surf and view websites. (parked of course)
I have an iPhone 3G (jailbroken) with the PDAnet app so I can tether it to a laptop or computer but it and the computer needs to both be on the same ad-hoc network.

Can the n810 CREATE its own ad-hoc network for the iPhone 3G to recognize and hop on to give the n810 its internet?

I've used the iPhone before to tether it to my laptop so it works just fine but before I bought a n810 I wanted to see if this was possible.

Thanks in advance.

To answer your question, yes, the N810 can create its own ad-hoc network (create a new connection and switch mode to ad-hoc in the connection properties dialog).
But ad-hoc eats battery like crazy because there's no powersaving. If you have a jailbroken iPhone, I'd suggest to tether it with the tablet via Bluetooth, if that's possible.

Great!

Thanks for that, unfortunately the iPhone 3G has "crippled" bluetooth (even under jailbroken status) so I kind of have to go with the ad-hoc road. However, I will be having the n810 in my car hooked up to the dash conveniently next to the cig lighter so it will be getting a charge pretty much all the time. I wont be using it all the time either, just on my breaks at work, etc. (no more than 1 hour or so max each session)

However, I have been keeping an eye on a project I've seen elsewhere that un-cripples the bluetooth on the iPhone so it can be used for other purposes other than just pairing it. They mentioned it should be out in a couple months so I have my fingers crossed for that. In the meantime, thanks a bunch!

Hi,

I am also looking for a N810 and Iphone 3G combination.

I saw something the other day about allowing a Jailbroken Iphone to share bluetooth data.

Can anyone confirm?

It was done in the past, so imagine since Jailbreaking 2.2 is now possible..

Let's find the LATEST info on this (ie. Iphone 2.2) and post here..

Bluetooth should be no prob for N810, but usb bus is another story..
Don't know enough about N810 usb tethering possibilities yet.
(ANYONE)

Bluetooth

I have a jailbroken 3G iPhone with the latest firmware and PDANet. I can definitely get the N810 on the 3G network with this setup although it failed the first time. Simply create the ad-hoc network on the N810, connect to the N810 wifi from the iPhone and then launch PDANet.

hmmmm...interesting.....

I did the same but I'm not able to find the ad-hoc wifi connection in the iPhone, I don't know why. I can create the ad-hoc conection in the N800 but then it doesn´t appears in the iphone... Any suggestions...

is the whole idea of the iphone nnot to need anotger device . .

want to make a phone call ?, there's an app for that . .
