big reason chose n900 was so that i could tether with laptop (Win Vista and use tmobile USA 3g) the same way i have been doing with my n95. however, seems that this is not offered out of the box.

for us non-techies, is there a simple solution?

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.

#List of plugins that should not be loaded on bluetoothd startup
DisablePlugins = network,input,hal

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

nokia customer service told me on two different calls that the n900 could not (1) charge the unit with the usb cable nor is (2) tethering supported... found an article online saying that it could. tried again and BOTH things work!

seems these first few weeks are going to be quite rocky for non-techies

these problems are inadmissible if nokia plans to make a dent in the iphone market. most users, the mass market of non-techies do not have the know how, interest, nor time to troubleshoot.

i love you, nokia, but please get your ish together... quickly!

Because the BT modem driver does not exist today. PC suite connect only works via USB.

Found this. Looks very promising. The author, Philip has even alluded to packaging it up when he gets a moment to do so.

Note though, that the solution is providing Bluetooth DUN server, not client.

So, I didn't realise it until today, but the pc-connectivity manager lets you do exactly what's being asked for.

You can connect using USB, Bluetooth PAN, or ad-hoc wlan and share an internet connection from either side.

I have not tried it, but the instructions look sane.

No wonder that nobody has realised what it does when the packages description says

A Maemo control panel applet to help the connection setup between the device and the hostpc.
Somehow I don't believe that it really does all the things that webpage says though

Any new developments on this? I'm considering upgrading from my N810 to the N900 but would like to have this functionality.

I want to connect the N900 in the same way as I do with the N810. Is it possible? How?
