Need this help for a friend in gurgaon who has a SE J200i phone. He wants to use it to connect to internet usign Airtel Mobile Office in gurgaon, but he is refraining from buying a new phone (which he should anyway).

Can his existing J200i be used as a modem with data cable? If there is a data cable.

i suppose yes. if he needs that only as a modem, i think he can check out 6070 or the similar kinda phones. i think even the k320i will do.

I told him to either get E50 or N72 cos most of the time he is away from computers, so Opera Native rox.
Also told him to look at SE W580i & W660i.

Well, my work is done.
