don't want to return phone but this is a big one for me!
That too is a big one for me. I use my phone to connect to my laptop via bluetooth daily.

Due to this, I am running my N900 without a SIM (WiFi only).

I wonder if with a few added commands this can be enabled, as was the case for the HID profile for the keyboard.

What does enabling the "network" plugin achieve? Maybe this is PAN only; and not PAN and DUN?
