JackinPhx: Did you ever get this working?

I just got my N800 about a week ago, and I've spent most of that time trying to get this to work too. The good news is - it *DOES* work! The bad news is - it's a bit tricky to set up.

If you're wondering why it doesn't work "out-of-the-box"... The N800 expects a phone to use a Bluetooth profile called DUN (dial-up networking). From what I've been able to find, that's the only type of connection you can create through the GUI. The Blackjack, on the other hand, only provides a connection via Bluetooth PAN (personal area network). It does not support DUN at all.

In the interest of getting the information out to you quickly - the sites I used to get things working are listed below. If you're not familiar with Linux and/or tethering the Blackjack, this probably won't be enough for you to get things working. If you are still in need of step-by-step instructions, let me know and I'll write some (you'll have to give me a day or two to do that).

I think the Blackjack and the N800 make a pretty good pair (especially if you're in an area with 3G service). Browsing on the N800 is much better than Pocket IE on the Blackjack.

You'll also have to run "Internet Sharing" on your Blackjack. You can use "File Explorer" to find it. Go to "My Device" -> "Windows" -> "Internet Sharing"
