If you have a Cingular cell phone with Bluetooth, you can use it as a modem to allow the Nokia 770 to get online. If you have EDGE connectivity, do the following:
Go to Apps/Tools/Connection Manager
In the Connection Manager Menu, select Tools/Connectivity
Press "Connections"
Either create a New Connection or edit your current "Cingular Internet" connection. Using "Packet data", click Next. Type the following settings:
Access point name: wap.cingular
Dial-up number: *99#
User name: WAP.CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
That's it. Click Finish. Warning: you might want to get the $20 unlimited data plan offered by Cingular, as they charge $.01/KB of data. Also, tethering this device might be in violation of your service agreement, although the Cingular rep at the store I purchased the plan from said this was fine.

ok, I did this and it works. I think there may be a conflict with my activesync on the phone (8125) and the nokia though. I will experiment more.
It worked when I first set it up... and it has only worked once since. (2 out of 20 tries)
Have you found it to be generally reliable?
I haven't had it NOT work - connects every time. What kind of phone are you using?
I use the Cingular 8125 Windows Mobile phone.
Do you have a "MobileLink" application on the 8125?
