Can we get some personal experiences on the NR70's ability to get on the internet?
I was wondering if there is a way...ie: Bluetooth...Wireless memorystick...Modem?

I have a nr 70v and have long since connected it to the internet. I do this in 2 ways, depending on where I'm at.
when I'm outside my apt, and out of bluetooth range, I use my motorola timeport 8767 (from verizon) along with a cellphone cable from www.thesupplynet.com . it's slow as hell but it works from the back of express busses, restrauants, malls and so on.
when in bluetooth range, I use the bluetooth memstick along with a belkin bluetooth usb module installed in my winxp pc. I have the pc's network connection (which is connected to the internet via a roadrunner cable modem) shared. getting internet connection sharing to work was a pain in the *** but it finally did. naturally, it's much faster than the cellphone method.
now for software. my primary browsing the web is blazer 2. it works with most of the sites I use. now, I'm not a heavy web browser on my nr70v but if I'm out somewhere and I need a movie time of something, it does the job. you may already know, blazer doesn't do virtual graffitti. another browser I use is xiingo. this does do virtual graffitti. it's not as "fast" as blazer, that's bacause blazer uses a proxy while xiingo doesn't. atleast, that's what I read somewhere, but I forget.
for email, I use cliemail but I will most likely move to snapper mail.
cliemail would have been great but it won't do smtp authentication. which means i can't send mail out of my yahoo acc. I think snapper will do this.
so , the bottom line is, internet can be accessed in 2 ways on a nr70, the most all around usefull way is a cable to go with your cellphone (so many are supported) but if you want speed and just brows the web at home, go with bluetooth. or do what I did and do both. with the wifi memstick coming, there will be a 3rd option. I really hope it will work with my old clie.

Just surfing by:
I connect over GPRS using infra red on my T68i Sony Phone
Very simple and a complete script of the settings is on the Vodafhone website.
Really fast and i can stay connected all day if i want polling my email.
I use Iambic and Xiino (for web browsing)
Anyway, it can be done with ease
