[link]http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=7272&sid=2077b91ff011215133fa508e83746c59[/url]Might be something useful here? It should be possible to do, you need to create a PAN (Personal Area Network) via bluetooth.
[/quote1232480871]Those are the instructions I used and I can report they work fine!
On the sammy at the appropriate step I right-click on the BT icon and choose ‘quick connect’>Network Access>’Your Device Name’
took mine to cyprus, was excellent, never had any trouble connecting to any wifi network (either in the UK or abroad). amazing to have an nc10 – i stocked up on iplayer content and pineapple express(!!!) and i didn’t need to worry about the battery on the flight at all!
just crashes my nc10, doesn’t work at all.
i downloaded the demo version here
what a load of rubbish, i’m slightly ocd but not enough to give a monkeys about some gimmicky coating on my keyboard. hell, this is truly one of those things for people lucky enough not to have real things to worry about in life. I’m jealous.

seems exactly the same?I used this for the XDA orbit 2 – you can do this for any window mobile 6 phone
for reference: http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=7272&sid=2077b91ff011215133fa508e83746c59WM6 Bluetooth Modem Setup
Using the XDA device as a Bluetooth modem is set up by creating a Bluetooth Personal Area Network from the PC/Laptop. In effect, this means pairing the XDA device with the PC/Laptop over Bluetooth and making the connection through the Bluetooth PAN icon in Network Connections.
There is no need to install the Bluetooth modem, nor set up a Dial Up Networking connection on the PC/Laptop as the PC/laptop uses the internet connection of the XDA device through the ‘Internet Sharing’ application.
Step 1:
Make sure the Mobile Web connection is configured on the XDA device. This can be done manually or automatically using the ‘O2 Operator Settings’ configuration application on the device:
Start>Programs>O2 Operator Settings
On the XDA device activate Bluetooth and set it to visible mode. This is done through the ‘Connection Manager’ of the device by tapping on the Bluetooth icon and selecting
Connection Manager>Settings>Bluetooth Settings
Once this is done, the XDA device has to be set up to ‘receive all incoming beams’. To do this:
Start>Settings>Connection>Beam
Tap in the check box ‘receive all incoming beams’ to activate this option.
Step 2:
The pairing can either be initiated by the PC/laptop or the XDA device itself.
From the PC/Laptop
In the control panel or system tray of the PC/laptop double click on the Bluetooth Device icon.
In the Bluetooth Devices window click Add.
The Add Bluetooth Device Wizard opens. Select the My device is set up and ready to be found check box, then select Next.
The wizard then detects your device and displays its name in the dialog box. Select Let me choose my own passkey, then enter a passcode. Click Next
A confirmation message then appears on the device. Tap Yes to accept the connection, enter the same passcode, then tap Next.
On the computer/laptop, click Finish to exit the wizard.
On the XDA device’s Partnership Settings screen the name of the computer/laptop can be changed if needed, then tap Finish.
To create a Bluetooth partnership from the XDA device, first make sure that Bluetooth on the PC/laptop is set to Discoverable. Then:On the XDA device tap
Start>Settings>Connections tab>Bluetooth
On the Devices tab, tap Add New Device. The XDA will search for other Bluetooth devices in range and will display them in the window.
Tap the desired device name in the box, then tap Next.
Specify a passcode then tap Next.
Wait for the PC/laptop to accept the partnership. The passcode will need to be entered into the PC/laptop.
The name of the device is then displayed on the XDA.
Select the check boxes of services that you want to use from the paired device, although there may be nothing displayed.
Tap Finish to complete the pairing.
Step 3:To connect to Mobile Web over Bluetooth:
On the XDA device, select the Internet Sharing application:
Start>Programs>Internet Sharing
Select Bluetooth PAN as the PC Connection.
From the Network Connection list, select the name of the connection that the XDA device uses to connect to the internet – most likely INTERNET.
Tap Connect.
On the PC/laptop set up a Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN) with the XDA Orbit:
Select Start>Control Panel>Network Connections
Under Personal Area Network, click the Bluetooth Connection icon
Under Network Tasks, click View Bluetooth network devices.
In the Bluetooth Personal Area Network Devices dialog box, select the XDA, then click Connect.
6. On the Internet Sharing screen on the XDA, the status of the connection will be displayed. This indicates if the XDA device has been successful with being set up as a Bluetooth modem with the PC/laptop.OMG, I was sitting here reading and feeling smug that mine didn’t have them, but now I see the two black eyes. For me it’s very very faint, probably not worth sending it back,. but will see how much it bothers me…
actually whoever said about standing back and looking at it is right, the blotches get darker.
This is going to be a costly manufacturing defect for Samsung I imagine…One thing worth I noticed the other day was that while on power the fan was on but when i unplugged it the fan went off.
I wonder if it detects the power and goes into some other mode.hi, juancarlos, mine creaks as well, when i press down on the plastic above the LEDs it creaks, it creaks around the fan as well. I’m not a fan of creaky plastics at all so if I had ny complaints about the nc10 – this would be it.
Mind you I bought this up in another thread…

I was accused of being pendantic!I’m another person who only noticed f7&f8 were blue after a week or so, really not that noticeable unless in very well lit area.
[quote1228153077=hef]
that is a pretty good deal.
lt’s face it, who isn’t going to use something like that as a modem if they have the ability to?
[/quote1228153077]
heh, true. it was a very good deal, i’m not even a high spending customer (was on simplicity before upgrade) £25 a month, 600 mins xnet, anytime, 1000 texts, unlimited internet bolton .
Then they asked if I wanted 16mb broadband for £5 a month an ‘all!The tariff I got was a discounted o2 600 which is normally £35, this includes a free bolton which can be unlimited internet.
The bluetooth connection with the handset is very quick and easy (less than 10 seconds)[quote1228136706=hef]
there are a lot of places now that offer free wifi with your custom (or without if you can park your car in the right place) these days man. pubs, restaurants, cafes and libraries are likely candidates.
you should keep your eyes out for some good local free spots so you dont have to run up your xda bill.
[/quote1228136706]the hsdpa is via an unlimited web bolton included in my contract though in reality you shouldn’t use it for a bluetooth modem (against t&cs) so I only use it for light news reading and gmail.
