Hello,

I am a noob to this forum. I tried searching for this subject but came up empty. My question is can you connect your iphone to the Treo via bluetooth so that you can have internet access on the iphone without having a phone plan.

I currently have a Treo 700p from Sprint and my contract with them is for another year. But I really want to get an iphone. If I can somehow use my Treo as a modem to connect the iphone it would be great. I plan to eventually switch to ATT once my contract is up but just can't wait another year to get the iphone. The Treo serves me well for business and email but it is not very good for just surfing the web or multi-media functions. I don't mind carrying both devices since i usually carry my Treo and an iPod anyways.

You cant really do anything with bluetooth besides connect to headsets :(
 
You could still use the wifi ... But to get to this and any feature you would have to unlock the phone.

If you don't want to get out of your contract I would just wait and buy (possibly the second gen.) iPhone in a year.
