Firstly, after receiving my touch today I can only say that mobile browsing using safari is even better than I had hoped...

However it now makes using my phone's web browser painful to unusable. (See how quickly we get spoiled :rolleyes:)

Anyway, I would love to be able to use my 3G phone (Nokia E61) as a means to provide the touch with internet access over wifi. Has anyone come across an app that converts symbian phones into wireless routers or a mobile Wifi -> bluetooth bridge?

Just in case anyone else is searching for a similar solution, I came across this...

Which means a PocketPc could be used as a bridge to the phone

E61 <-bluetooth-> PDA <-Wifi-> Touch

It requires a PDA with bluetooth & wifi but luckily I have an old Dell Axim here that fits the bill.

Similar situation, I have a Nokia N95 and an iPod touch, wish I could use the phone's data plan in conjunction with the iPod somehow!
