Yes, but apparently not the skypephone S2. I just had confirmation from 3 live support:

[me] Hi! Does the Skyphone S2 support bluetooth DUN (for use as a modem without USB)?
[3] Well you cannot connect to net with blutooth !
[3] you need a USB
[3] Are you looking to take out a new contract or an additional contract today?
[me] No, just to buy a new handset. So if I want bluetooth connectivity I should get the original skypephone then?
[3] yes
[3] because without usb you wont be able to connect to net.
The original is not that attractive for modem use as it doesn't support HSDPA though. The cheapest alternative that does seem to be the Nokia 6120 for 50% extra, but I'm not sure if it's worth it for just a few months' use (until the N900 comes along).
