Mac Forum / General / Hardware / January 2005

Success! (But at a cost.) After DAYS of frustrated attempts at
connecting my Motorola Razr V3 phone to my PowerBook G4 using Bluetooth
and Cingular GPRS service, I found a program called "Mobile High
Speed". The crappy part is that it costs $100, which is really awfully
expensive. The brilliant part is that it WORKS! Best of all, you'll
connect at over 200K, which is mighty fast.

It's made by a company in Germany, and the installation is easy and
clear. But follow the directions carefully; some seem
counter-intuitive. Even if you've already paired your phone to your
Mac, start over and follow their pairing instructions. It has you
select dial up rather than GPRS service in the pairing process (that's
the counter-intuitive part). Just follow the instructions, they know
what they're doing.

The registration is a little odd: They send you an email, you type in a
code. They send you another email. You type that code in. Etc, etc.
But, again, it works. The coolest part is keeping your phone closed and
in your pocket and connecting your Mac to the web via Bluetooth without
connecting a cable!

And the program I bought is called: "Mobile High Speed 3G for Mac OS X"

The low-speed free demo didn't work, incidentally. I took the chance
and paid for the registered version and that's when it worked.

Now, part 2 of Bluetooth syncing is Address Book which, for a mere $10
can be synced using "On Sync" available at
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/onsync.html.
That one's pretty easy to use. I can't figure out how to have multiple
numbers under one name, but that's my only issue with it.
It can be done!
