Ok. I really am intrested in the nokia 6620, if it ever does come out, will I be able to get internet access through my phone on my mac laptop through bluetooth? I would ask a cingular rep near me but they seem to be idiots. This just uses my minutes too right? I don't have to change my plan or get some new feature. I sure someone out there knows.

Hi I work for cingualr wireless customer care. And the answer is no because we don't have data connect software for Mac computers.

Marcus... with bluetooth, using the phone as a modem, they wouldn't need data connect, since bluetooth is a wireless standard. Not sure if it would work or not, but it seems it would. Anyone else with better info that can help?

you dont NECESSARILY need the data connect software. Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools has it's own connection "section" built in. I dont know if they make it for the Mac or not. basically, in order for you to use your phone as a wireless modem, you need some sort of connection software. WE dont make any for the Mac. Where you get it from is up to you.
