Sprint wants to charge a recurring $15/mo or more for the "using the phone as modem" to share the PCS Vision Internet Service from Sprint. Anyone successful specifically with the HTC Touch Pro (no after OEM ROMs), and using the bluetooth with either Windows Vista, or Windows XP Pro versions?

Is there a simple "stop the bleeding already" way to do this? Appreciate this great website forum! Ron
This is how I do it with bluetooth. First I did the reg edit of removing the entire line for force cell connection and the dll link. The result is I have a choice of PAN or Sprint for internet sharing.... (drop down box).

I have a windows vista 64 laptop. To tether with bluetooth I follow this procedure (phone and computer have been "paired" and active sync has been setup).
1. On Phone... open Programs/active sync... choose menu on the bottom right soft key and "connect via bluetooth".. it go through the motions of connecting to your pc and establishing a sync.
2. On phone... Open Programs/Internet Sharing.. in PC Connection box choose Bluetooth PAN In network connection box choose Sprint. Click "connect" on bottom left softkey.
3. Now, on my laptop I had to go to start/connect to and then had a choice of connections one being bluetooth.. I click that and choose connect. And I"m set to go.
I may have had to set up the bluetooth internet connection once on my laptop so the option was there.. .very similar to setting up connection for any new network.

Observations.. tethering with usb is much faster and much more simple.. simply connect usb, choose active sync and then internet sharing and connect.. you're good. no need to choose anything on the laptop. And surfing speed is faster. Also I choose the option to allow calls.

For the Pro the process is pretty much the same. I found that the Pro disconnects more often with bluetooth than with usb without warning... but I haven't trouble shot it since I mostly tether with the Diamond (my phone) than the Pro (b/f's phone).
