That was awesomely easy! Thanks a lot!

I have a HTC Hero which I’ve used for a long time as a 3g modem now, but it recently stopped working, for some reason.

So I’m glad I can keep doing the same with my old phone (nokia 5800), though it seems like the speed is pretty slow: around 0.3 mbit vs. the 2 mbit I had when I used my Hero (and which I’m paying for).. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi Rick,
I’ve used the tethering via Bluetooth several times and didn’t notice any extreme slowness but then again I wasn’t doing any heavy downloading either.
Thanks,
Alan.

I would also like to do this but when I called to get information from my wireless provider Cincinnati Bell, they told me that there was an additional $30/month charge! Not happy and sure not going to pay that. Does anyone have any information about how I can make this happen without the additional charge. I already have a data plan on my phone. I would just like to use my laptop instead of the nice but small Nokia 5800 screen. Thanks, Rick
