I have a Sanyo PM-8200 which I love and have used it to access the 'net from my laptop before using the USB cable. I am thinking of buying a Pocket PC (the Dell Axim x50v to be specific, but I could be swayed) and would like to know if it's possible to connect the Pocket PC to the phone so I could surf the internet on that. I know that this is possible with Bluetooth... but my phone doesn't have Bluetooth (stupid Sprint. Get some Bluetooth phones!). Surely this must be possible by using a cable of some sort (I'm not opposed to buying one). So my question is... has anyone done this? Do you know where you can get the cables to do it?
Thanks for the help.

I was thinking about buying it but it is expensive.

So that one will work huh. Thanks for the link guys. Guess I'll go without though.
I don't mind paying $20 for a cable but $80? WOW.

If you already have a Data cable for your phone couldn't you use that and a USB-to-USB connector to conect it to your PDA via the sync cable?
