I am thinking of buying the following handset http://www.indiagsm.com/nokia/6020.asp and ACER TM 2413 (Price = 35 K inculsive of taxes and carry bag). Details = {Mobile Intel Celeron- M Processor 370 (1.5 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 400 MHz FSB)/ Intel 910GML Chipset/ 256 MB DDR2 400 RAM / 40 GB / DVD Dual Double Layer drive/ 15" TFT / LAN / Integrated 802.11b/g Wireless LAN/ 56K Fax/Modem/ 4 USB Ports/ Linux/ 1 year standard ITW (incl. Battery)} Please let me know whether I would be able to connect that mobile to the above laptop model for internet connectivity - either from linux or any windows os version. The 'tech' guys at the laptop/mobile showroom are not able to tell me this. Thanks all for your help. ~A. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
