I know this may seem old hat to most people, but it was cool to me.
I have a Palm Treo 500V that has a good priced 3G connection here in Spain using MasMovil. I used to connect my old laptop via a cable to the treo, and connect to the Internet from anywhere. Now I have my NB200 with Bluetooth, I thought it would be nice to dispense with the cable. Sure enough, worked great!
Right Click on the Bluetooth icon in the task bar and choose Add New Connection. Connect to your phone, choosing a PIN on both machines. Then go into Internet Sharing on the phone, and select Bluetooth PAN. It connected right away, and now I don't need to remember the cable any more!
However, early testing (this morning for example) shows that the Bluetooth Pan connection isn't very fast or as reliable as the USB cable connection to Internet Sharing on the Treo. It's a good backup for when I forget the cable though...
