# Bluetooth is good for something

So, my brother and I are sitting in the [Economy Shoe Shop](http://www.economyshoeshop.ca/), and for whatever reason, we want to get on the internet. He has a [ Treo 650p](http://www.palm.com/ca/products/smartphones/treo650/), and he does it easily through the Telus' CDMA network. I have [a Jasjar](http://www.clubimate.com/t-DETAILS_JASJAR.aspx), and I could also do it easily, if I subscribed to a data service. We did something that was really fucking neat. He exposed his device as a bluetooth modem that my device could use. My Jasjar, via bluetooth got out onto the internet through my bro's Treo 700 on CDMA. Perhaps that's a little too geeky for most people, but I thought it was damn cool.
