Ok, I just purchased a Mortolla MPx-220 SmartPhone running Windows Mobile 2003. It is bluetooth enabled.
When it is connected to the PC via the USB cable, it shows the DNS and IP address ect. However when it is unplugged, it shows no network available.
So... My question is, can it be used on the network as another device through my wireless router? My pocket PC runs just about the same CE OS as the phone, and I can use active sync to connect through the wireless network to my PC. I would like to do the same with my phone. It would also be very nice to use the local network to bring up HS pages to control stuff.
One other thought I had, is if I CAN get it on the network, it would be a great way for HomeSeer to know if I am home or away. For emample, ping the phone IP address, if detected, I am home, if not then I am out. This could be set to run say run every few minutes or so, and update a virtual device ect.
Any suggestions or ideas on this one?
