I'll post more about my not-ready-for-prime-time Dell Axim 51v. For now, I want to give back to the web some advice I needed to get my 51v to work with my Nokia 3650 on T-Mobile's Internet plan, hooked up via BlueTooth modem.
I was able to pair the devices just fine. I was able to have the 51v dial *99# and momentarily have the "G" indicator pop-up on my Nokia 3650. But never stay connected. I would get the disconnected error. Finally, I trudged through the AximSite.com boards long enough to find this thread:

Here was the special sauce: extra dial string. The instructions:
Dialing number: *99#
User name: (leave blank)
Password: (leave blank)
Domain: (leave blank)
Extra dial-string modem commands: +CGDCONT=1, "IP", "(see note)"
note:
wap.voicestream.com (for generic)
internet2.voicestream.com (for internet option users)
internet3.voicestream.com (for VPN option users)
I put in the following dial-up string and I'm connected:
+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "internet2.voicestream.com"
Not the fastest connection in the world but it works. Yeah!
