   The cellphone has Internet, and Bluetooth, I am wanting to put a Bluetooth   
   device on my cat5 router WAN output.   
   Then use data through the cellphone while I use the computer keyboard &   
   software that I have been familiar with.   
   Appreciate the help, I guess I haven't written clear enough what I have been   
   thinking of wanting to do.   
   Home computers (like everyone else in this thread are using) are lots easier to   
   use in my way of thinking.   
      
   I have lost two replies on two different days because I goofed up and tapped   
   outside of the writing window this phone has.   
   As You seen I am usually long winded while writing posts.   
      
   It is very frustrating when this phone switches from composing a post to show   
   something else because I goofed up hitting the screen somewhere else than where   
   I suppose to be tapping.   
   Still learning how to use it.

   I may finally have to do that.
