Getting BlueTooth Toys to Work Together

Well, I have had my new toys for 2 months now and after tons of playing around, reading, and general trying - I'm getting frustrated.

I bought a Bluetooth M-Blade fror my Prism.
Bought an IBM A31 Notebook PC with Bluetooth
Bought a Ericsson T68i Cellphone...

I can sync over BT or IR just fine.
I would like to browse on the Prism through my BT connection to the laptop to test websites built for mobile devices. Would also like to connect to AvantGo via BlueTooth while I'm at it to view channels.

So, assuming I'm dialed in with the laptop, or have a broadband connection, and bluetooth is enabled...

Why does AvantGo complain that it wants a dialup connection to
AIMnet, and it is an incorrect phone number?

1) Where is the phone number set?
I'm talking about connecting by BT, but it would help to know when I try this by cell phone.

2) I set all the connect options to -Prompt- and it still forces dialup connection for its preferred connection. Any way to use existing lan connection or BT Serial????

You should forget all this Bluetooth nonsense and sell me your Red-M Blade card

You have gone a step further than I have so far - I have a BT receiver (USB) on my desktop and a T68i but can't figure out how to sync my Outlook calender with the phone

Well, that I can help you with.
That nifty CD that came with the phone loads an application called EXTNDConnect PC.

-Discover your phone in BT Neighborhood.
-Load all the stuff from the CD.
-Tell EXTNDConnect that you want to sync with Outlook.
-Enable your T68i BT Operation Mode to ON
-Right click on the T68i's first Virtual Serial Port in the BT Neighborhood and select Connect
-If you have EXTNDConnect set to AutoSync on contact, it will start and prompt you to allow connection to Outlook.
-If not, right click the little cell phone in your system tray and select synchronize.
Wala!

Helpful hint: Minimize your tasks and calendar to only 1 week forward looking and 0 weeks backward if you have a busy schedule. Otherwise it will tell you your phone is full .
