I don't know if these issues are related, but unfortunately it means you probably won't be helped by trying Bluetooth. Thanks for saving me the trouble of trying JoikuSpot
I had similar issues with Bluetooth DUN as well. Then I read somewhere that some carriers do not play well on the N900 when both the phone's internet connection is on AND trying to share it using DUN.

It seems counter-intuitive, but the following creates the most stable BT DUN connection.
  1. Disconnect from any internet connection
  2. Turn off automatic searching for connections
  3. Initiate DUN from client device

Turning off the phone's data connection lets the bluetooth DUN client have complete control of the phone's GPRS modem, apparently.

Good luck.
