[maemo-users] Cell Phone As Modem

[From: Jonathan Greene]

Nick -

I am almost positive it's because you don't have a phone that supports
DUN which is the only method supported between a phone and the tablet.
 Just because they are paired does not mean they can connect for a
tethered connection.  OPP is Object Push -
http://www.bluetooth.com/Bluetooth/Technology/Works/OPP.htm  There's a
link here - http://palmsolo.jaiku.com/presence/21231832 - for an app
to install on your winmo device to get it to work.  Or you can try
installing http://www.wmwifirouter.com/ which will let you create an
adhoc hotspot from your mobile phone using the data connection and
your tablet connects over wifi.  I use JoikuSpot on my Nokia phones
sometimes and this method is actually more reliable than DUN most of
the time... though the phones get pretty hot and it does seem to use
more battery as well.
