    Hi people.

    So this is my first time in the Apple Mac Forums. My girlfriend has a PowerBook G4 (12" titanium), and she wants to know if she can use (and how) her Sony Ericsson K770i as an image capture device, as her laptop doesn't have a webcam installed. :D

    Also, she wants to use the same phone as well to surf the internet (serving as a modem) when she's out of range of telephone lines etc.

    Anybody have any idea how to do this? Thanks much!

    Pair the device with your Mac using bluetooth. Go to System Prefs>Bluetooth, and follow the setup wizard.

    As a user of Sony Ericsson phones, you can't use it as an image capture device no matter what OS you have. Using it as a modem however is simple as pairing or using the software provided.
