N95 uses?

Can the N95 be used as 'Bluetooth Dial Up' for my laptop? If so how? I would like to be prepared! Thanks one and all.

Hmmmm... bluetooth- I would have to guess it will work. I do know that you will be able to connect with USB cable to laptop and browse the web. Should all be done with some sort of Nokia data suite software or something. You can connect to the program via USB and bluetooth, so I would assume you can share Internet to your laptop via the bluetooth as well as USB connection. I hope I'm not steering you wrong, but I'm pretty sure on this one.

I really want to know if you can share Internet connection via WLAN function- to use the N95 as a hotspot for my PSP as I'm driving down the road. Then I definately buy a slingbox or location free player- watch video on the PSP all day long as I drive.

My Nokia 6680 can be used as bluetooth dialup for my laptop, so I would be extremely suprised to find the N95 cannot.

It was fairly easy to setup, just required downloading Nokia PC Suite.

Just click on PC Suite's 'Connect to the Internet' icon and follow the prompts! Note that it's not strictly 'dial-up' in that there's no pseudo-voice call, instead it's all done using a GPRS or 3G data connection.
