hi,
P910i does not have a built in wi-fi.
one option of connecting to internet is
1) using Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Bridge
connect to a Bluetooth Access Point which connects
it to network that contains the WiFi Access
Point.
Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Bridge
A bridge between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks
This device would function as a network bridge,
allowing users of Bluetooth devices that are able
to use the Wireless Networking profile the ability
to utilize Wi-Fi Hotspots. Because of the nature of
Bluetooth networking, the device would have to
accept PPP connections from Bluetooth PDA's, laptops,
etc. and then simply forward those packets to an
existing Wi-Fi Network. There would have to be an
interface in the device that would allow the
Bluetooth device to configure the wireless network (ie
Network Name, WEP) probably a web-based interface.
There would have to be a hardware method of
pairing the Bridge to a Bluetooth device, probably
similar to the way that Bluetooth Mouses are paired
now (a hardware button is pressed and the device
will pair with any device for the next 15
seconds without a PIN). Either that or the device
would be plugged in to a USB port on a host
configured and paired via a desktop application.
