thanks for the post! just bought an unlocked 680. Changing my t-mobile plan right now but don’t know which one to get…there is the 5.99 tmobile web, the 9.99 tzones pro, and the 19.99 HotSpot. Which one should I sign up for? I am interested in using the web on my phone alone as well as using it with my mac to connect to the net as described in the post. Thanks!

Worked really well with my Treo 680 and MacBook using T-Mobile Internet

I used – internet2.voicestream.com

Additionally, I was able to use this connection with Parallels (virtual machine) running Windows XP using these steps -

* Use host only networking with dhcp on windows xp. (Parallels)

* After that configure internet sharing of Bluetooth with en2 (this is the Parallels Host-Guest Adapter).

omg,
there is hope again…
is there any chance that this excellent instruction will work with devices other than the treo such as Nokia 6233?

[Not sure, I've never tried it. Why don't you try, and let us know? Thanks. --Kristofer]

Thanks for the instructions! They work great!

One more thing:
Make sure to use “internet2.voicestream.com” instead of “wap.voicestream.com” if you have the total internet package.

Excellent!

I was able to use these instructions to get my Nokia N80IE working with my MacBook. Thanks very much for posting these instructions!

[...] this in mind I searched for and found instructions on Using your t-mobile Treo 680 as internet access point via Bluetooth with Mac OS X. The instructions point you to a site where you download a package of generic GPRS [...]

Thank you!!! I had BT DUN with my 650 but couldn’t get it to work with my 680. I’m back in business. Fantastic.
