In playing with the Nokia 700, it seems silly that Nokia has limited the device to two connectivity realms - wifi and bluetooth phones. There is another type of bluetooth access- via a PAN, or Personal Area Network. I’m only just starting to see what the 770 can do with BT, but already I’ve found that it’s too dumb to connect to a PAN with the Hildon-based Connection Manager. I’ve tried connecting to my Belkin F8T030 BT Access Point, to no avail. The 770 reports that there are no useful profiles on the device (which it sees). I don’t think the Connection Manager is looking for a PAN BT profile.
You are correct. The current BT stack on 770 dose not support anything else other than DUN via a cell-phone. I hope somebody is working on providing a complete set of BT profiles for 770.
Too bad I am not a programmer 
I did not have any luck surfing with my 770 with bluetoothing to a treo 650…. I’m new, I like the 770, but there seem to be some holes. the handwriting recognition seems like it gets awesome when it learns you?

Comment by Mitch 12.29.05 @ 3:31 amActually, the 770 also supports the SPP profile, but the Connection Manager can’t utilize it. You can manually create an SPP connection to a BT phone that supports SPP using the rfcomm command line tool.
Check out the maemo Wiki regarding BT GPSes. It offers some good 770 BT info.
I’ve got my 770 talking with my Moto A780 via BT SPP and browsin’ the net over EDGE
