Please tell me if it's possible and what componets are necessary to connect my Prism with my Nextel i1000+ celluar telephone. I want to use my Prism to "surf" the web through the Internet portal on my Nextel phone. I have been using the phone for over 6 months now to surf and send/receive email. Seems the next step is to connect the Prism and do it on a bigger screen and in color. I understand there are modems and wireless Internet modules for the Visor's but I hope I can use the Nextel "ISP" instead of aquiring a real ISP and using the Nextel to dial that ISP. Since I already pay for Internet access on my Nextel phone I now simply want to use my Prism as an interface to enhance the experiance.

Please advice
thx

It should be possible though not necessarily easy. For starters, you'll need the data cable for the i1000. Next, you'll most likely also need a Mark/Space modem DataCord to connect to the Visor.

Read this thread as well as this one... they discuss using a Visor/cell phone combo. Unfortunately, it's not an easy nor readily available option... but it can be done and does work. I've been using my VDx with a StarTAC for a few weeks now without any problems.

Thanks for the reply. I read throught the links and I determined that the people posting were using there Visor external serial interface to connect to the modem interface of their CDMA phones, which means they still are dialing their respective ISP's e.g. Etherlink and MSN. I however have a phone that surfs the web with out dialing an ISP, in fact the phone has it's own IP number. Looking at the config of the Visor The connection types are PPP in nature and not Ethernet. If there was a work around to use my phone as the default gateway for the Visor I could prolly get this setup to work with the proper cable set.

Thx
