Yes mate, there is a way to connect to the internet using your PC's connection via bluetooth. I can't remember how exactly, but it just requires setting up Network settings on both PC and phone correctly (I got the instructions from a thread on this forum). I done it once with my NgageQD, then realised you have to be within 10ft of your PC for bluetooth connection to work, so it was easier to just use my PC.

Yes I'd agree, get the 7610 unless you want to play N-Gage games. Although personally I'd say go for the 6670 over the 7610 (or wait for the 3230). Of course 3G its 6630 (or wait for 6680).

Bluetooth internet sharing on the 7610. In theory it may be possible (there was something which allowed the 6600 to do this), but I wouldn't hold my breath. Really more hassle than its worth to be honest!

Oh and Zainman please try not to use too much netspeak / shorthand, it took me a few moments to work out what you were asking!
