[robinchen]

i often travel to work,so it is not convenient for me to surf the internet,but i can surf the internet with my mobile phone,i want to use bluetooth to surf internet on my laptop,so what can i do?

Why Bluetooth? Most smartphones these days allow for wireless tethering, although usually for an added fee.

I actually prefer to tether my phone via USB cable for the simple fact that the phone's battery is charged via the USB connection while tethered.

It depends on the phone. You need a smart phone, or at a minimum a feature phone if it supports tethering. Bluetooth is slow, you would be better off using wired or WiFi tethering.

Im not big on these cell phones and dont use much. Have a Motorola Atrix 4G Android. whats the diff between using bluetooth and WiFi. thought they were the same. Like toys as a gift though. investigating accessing tv with AT&T and accessing computer which im thinking can be done. cell phone is a new area for me. don't know nutin about them. its wireless.

as all you advice,i think it is time for me to change a mobile phone,what i use now is Nokia,i have used it for several years,and it works well,but it seems that Bluetooth is not good enough,i will consider it,thanks

I haven't heard of any regular phones being able to tether over bluetooth, those are just for bluetooth headsets and so forth.

i just see this from a website,and someone has experienced it,it is not fast to use bluetooth to surf internet,but sometimes it is helpful

Were they using a smartphone? It is possible with a smartphone but you usually need to hack it in order to tether, unless you purchase a tethering plan from your carrier.
