Hi ..

I am in Delhi.. using Airtel on N70 .. via Bluetooth(microsoft Driver)
When I dial the connection.. on PC .. Its connected at 115.2kbos

My Question
1. What is the maximum speed that a BT connection can have..
since n70 supports around 236kbps as max speed .. so how can I acheive it.
i.e. Whats the maximum speed BT dongle available

2. If I also dials the dsl 256kbps connection at the same time, can we hav the benefit from both the internet connection :rolleyes:

1. connect ur phone using datacable instead of bt dongle we can't get proper speed on it. because its data transfer rate is compatritively very much slow .
2. we can benifit from one connection at a time so no use while connecting both together.

1. use datacable..
2. read on a forum that if 2 connections connected at same time, we get more speeds... but i don't know if it true or not

what about the life of phones espicially of costly phones if it used for a full night surfing. will anything happen wrong to phones?

and which is better: I use bsnl dataone unlimited home plan,
and think about some alternatives, ie net thru mobiles,
is there any way to download (unlimited) using my N70?
which connection should be best?
is this method cheaper than dataone unltd plan?

Airtel has an unlimited GPRS plan, cost depends on area basis... call CC....
Speed is much lower than DataOne...
but as you have EDGE enabled handset, and if u r in a EDGE area, u can get good speed... enough 4 browsing, etc basic things, not good 4 heavy downloads
