Just bought a black MacBook & want to use my Viewty as a bluetooth modem because I have Web n Walk unlimited & get HSDPA connection on my phone pretty much all over Manchester but I don't have a clue how to set it up & T-Mobile just try & sell me Web n Walk Max!

Anyone help?

Cheers Dudes!!

You most likely need software to do it (the PC suite for my old N93 let me do this), and the chances are that it will be Windows XP / Vista only. First stop the disk that came with the phone, second stop the LG website!

I remember the disk having the option for wired modem just wondered if there was settings I can use to just connect to the phone with bluetooth as my laptop see's it as a modem.

LG's website is sh!t, can't download the PC software only place ive found it online is as a torrent! Reason I got a Mac is to get away from windows so won't be using the software anyway.

Guess its just another reason to get the new iPhone next month!!

Im pretty sure the software on the CD can be used to manage bluetooth connections as well.
