Cindy,
There has been a lot of discussion lately about setting up the series 60 phones as a modem for the BrailleNote. I have found personally the best way to interface the phone and the BrailleNote is via bluetooth. The phone that I have is a Nokia 6682, and the provider is Cingular, and it will still work even though they switched to AT&T. The phone information may be irrelevant. If someone is wanting to use their phone as a modem I would recommend going with the unliminited internet package, as daily internet usages will add up rather quickly. I will outline in detail setting up the BrailleNote and the phone as a modem below. Note: this will only work with either a mPower or a PK. I am going to provide BT instructions with the QT in parenthesis Paring 1. make sure that the blutooth feature on the phone is switched on 2. make sure visibility is set to yes on the phone 3. turn the bluetooth on the BrailleNote side by: a. pressing space with o (function with o) for options from the main menu b. press c for connectivity c. press b for bluetooth 4. it will ask, "search for devices?" 5. type in yes, it will begin searching, it will bring up a list of bluetooth devices within a radius of 30 feet or 10 meters 6. Look for your phone [it is recommended that you rename your phone to something meaningful rather than nokia 6620, for example my phone is named Kevin Chao 6682] and hit enter, it will bring up a list of services, select modem and hit enter. 7. It will promt for an authetication code, type what you would like to be your authentication code, make sure you use a number sign (not require for QT) if in grade 1 or 2, if in computer braille, then lower numbers, then hit enter after you are done. 8. A message will appear on your phone asking for the same authentication code, type it in using the keypad and hit select. 9. Now, both your phone and BrailleNote are paired and active. Connectivity 1. From the main menu, press space o (function o) to get into the options menu 2. press c for connectivity 3. Hit c to create a new dial-up or lan connection 4. for the connection configuration name (I would advise switching to computer braille) [not required for QT], type wap.cingular and hit enter (cingular must be spelt out when using computer braill, same applies for QTe) dot is dots 4, 6 5. for the device to use, press chord 3-4 [not sure of QT command, press help to see what it is]until you get to your phone and hit enter 6. for the phone number (I would advise switching to computer braille (not required for QT), by hitting backspace with j), enter the following string *99***1# and hit enter. * is dots 1-6 (shift 8) 9 is dots 3, 5 # is dots 3, 4, 5 (shift 3), 6, 7. for the service user name (I would again advise switching to computer Braille (not required for QT), by hitting backspace j), type [EMAIL PROTECTED] @ is space u followed by dot 4 (shift 2) dot is 4, 6 (cingular must be spelt out when using computer Braille, not required for QT) 8. service password can be left blank, and the rest of the fields can be left as their default. 9. It will prompt to add this record, type y for yes. 10. Everything is paired and configured 11. When you want to go onto the internet or check emails, it will prompt, "connect using which configuration?" select wap.cingular Enjoy using your phone as a modem. Just out of curiosity what are the conventions internet price, I will be attending the NFB convention and working at the Sendero Group booth but haven't looked at the internet prices yet.
