how did you get it to work? i got my laptop to detect and connect with my phone, but when i tried to get my laptop to dial i got error 678.

did you have to fill in any of the user login and passwd? i didn't think i need to do that because i thought it would work like dialing in with usb.

i figure it would be faster and maybe more reliable with usb, something for web browsing even slower speed thr bt is probably good enough, a trade off for not having to have another wire connected to my netbook.

if you can, please provide a detail of how you set it up with your laptop. I (and many others) much appreciate it.
thanks


btw, the charge stoppage seems to also happen for me with usb esp when i am trying to download a big file. when the file finishes download, it doesn't resume charging... : ( for casual www browsing, this doesn't happen. maybe the big download and full speed exceed the ability of the usb port to provide enough juice?
