Ca y est, je suis finalement arrivé à configurer mon Mac pour utiliser mon Treo 650 via Bluetooth comme accès Internet avec Orange France. Ça a été beaucoup moins automatique qu’avec mon SonyEricsson T610, mais en suivant les excellentes instructions de captnswing.net et en utilisant orange comme APN, nom d’utilisateur et mot de passe, ça marche !

Since the beginning I started using my Treo, I noticed a Logging In message after each HotSync. I looked around on the Web but could not find anybody else with the same problem. And judging by the noise in speakers I heard a couple of times, this Logging In was indicating access via GPRS.

I finally figured the problem out. My Orange Treo came with a Talk Now application, which AFAICT is some kind of IM application, and also AFAICT, doesn’t work, as I saw a message saying that it had been deactivated or something like that.

So, removing this useless application made my message go away. I’m not sure what it was trying to do, but I’d sure be interested to know.

Regardless, I am wondering how much in GPRS charges (especially when I was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago) that will have cost. Now that’s a pretty nifty way for an operator to make a few extra bucks.
