right....sharing your net conenction with your mobile via bluetooth is dead easy

any way to use the bluetooth modem to give net access to your PC

i have set up pc to use phone as a modem with dialup, but i'd much rather use GPRS

I'm not 100% sure this works on the 7650 'cause I haven't tried it but most phones let you dial up over GPRS by changing the dialup number in the PC's settings to *99#. This will tell the phone to use your default access point instead of using the dial-up settings. I don't think the username and password settings on the PC have any effect in this case.

If it's not your default connection you want to use, try numbers like *99***1#, *99***2#, *99***3# etc., which should correspond to the different access points you have set up.
