The current (700p, 755p, Centro) bluetooth stacks have DUN enabled by default. No more need to touch the phone to get DUN going.

I have an aging 700p and a N810. On the N810, I simply select my phone on the network connect list and I am on.

HOWEVER -- on my phone, I MUST allow the DUN to time out, or select a different network on the N810, so it drops the BT connection, BEFORE using the phone, or the 700p will hang. YMMV

I would highly recommend the Centro (a new and better 755p) for use with the N810.

My 700p has been effortless with the one exception.

Hargoth, do you have phone-as-modem support on your plan, and are you getting charged for the tethering?

As far as I know, to do it natively, you need to have Phone as Modem on your plan, or you'll get charged a ton, unless you use the program PDAnet or USB modem to tether without letting Sprint know you're tethering.

Ya, lucky me my 700p is from work, so they pay for it. However, the new Sprint everything plan does cover DUN what what I have read.

Unfortunately no, it does not include phone-as-modem.
