hello all, im new here and new to this type of cell phone in general. i have a basic question about internet sharing on this phone. i have a basic question for you all. i tried searching but couldnt find exactly what i was looking for.

note: i do not currently own this phone but i would like to pick it up tomorrow.

if i get this phone and get wireless internet added to my cell phone contract can i share internet to my laptop via bluetooth? i saw there is a hack to get ICS working but is that to share a wifi connection over USB or wifi over bluetooth or wireless internet over usb or over bluetooth?

i will be on us cellular's network if that means anything.

thanks, i cant wait to pick this thing up!

You can use bluetooth but keep in mind that it's much faster to tether using either USB or wifi (search for wmwifirouter). With bluetooth PAN tethering I get less than 300 kbps, with usb or wifi I was seeing above 1500kbps (in evdo areas).
