iPAQ/6310/GPRS for mail & phone coordination

[Lem]

Dear PPC Experts:

I've cut over from the Palm platform some time ago and am getting used to the PocketPC functionality.

At present, Bluetooth and GPRS-enabled web (internet) browsing is working well. However, I haven't figured out how "Inbox" can send/receive mail via GPRS. I hope I don't have to obtain a separate ISP account, as our local carrier does GPRS. Do I set up a separate dial-up? PopServer?? Will this affect ActiveSync with "regular" PC/Desktop-based synchronisation?

Secondly, is there an application so that I can look up a phone number on the iPAQ, Bluetooth it across and have the 6310 call the number? Seems very silly to have to re-type the number on the 6310. I can Bluetooth any record across (either way), but sometimes this isn't a number I wish to store permanently in the phone's memory, being more of an ad hoc basis. I imagine this sort of Bluetooth communication is fairly common, especially with Bluetooth phone headsets?

Thanks for helping. Sorry if this has been posted earlier - please point me to the relevant post. Thanks.

Lem :-)

I have the same problem with GPRS and ISP.I can receive any mail but i can not send unless i create a new account in the gprs provider.But if you have bussiness account mail and not something common in ISP then it is possible to send and receive mails .So i thin kit depends from the ISP provider first and after that fro mGPRS carrier company.

I think i saw a program you are looiking for in yahoo site take a look .I dont remember exactly but directly from your PDA you just point to person and it connects automatically to your phone .Of coursre you must have enable GPRS in 6310
