I just bought a palm tungsten T, so I may sound dumb. I'm trying to set up a Bluetooth connection, not necessarily for internet. Do you have to buy the expansion from www.palm.com or is it built into the T?I want to know how bluetooth works, how much it costs, and how to set it up.

I have a Tungsten T2 and from what I understand, it already comes installed on your palm (or at least it's on the software for your Palm, so you can install it yourself that way). It's Bluetooth enabled, but you need to be in the vicinity of another Bluetooth capable palm (assuming you're using it to "chat" with them). To connect to internet with Bluetooth is another damn annoyance. Apparently, your cell phone must be a GSM capable phone (extremely limited and pretty expensive at times) or else you need to buy the cable. In addition, I believe you need to purchase an additional internet provider for your cell phone (unless you have AT&T WorldNet, CompuServe, Earthlink, etc.). If you need additional info on this, go to www.palm.com and click on your model of PDA (Tungsten T). It'll explain to you all the little fine print regarding Bluetooth. Hope this helped. Good luck!
