Mogul: Phone as Modem via Bluetooth

I can easily get the "Phone as Modem" to work via USB but I can not get the
"Phone as Modem" to work via Bluetooth.

I was informed today that Sprint has disabled that feature.

Any input?

TIA

I've only used the USB cable because it is faster.

Page 137 of the users guide for the phone give instructions on how to
use the phone-as-modem over bluetooth, so I doubt that it is disabled
(http://www.sprint.com/cdma/assets/pdfs/phone_guides/htc/
ppc_6800_ug.pdf)

Which part of the instructions can you not get to work? What happened
when you called customer support or stopped in a store and showed them
the step in the user's guide that isn't working on your phone?

Thanks for the link and I'm actually trying to go phone to phone via
Bluetooth. I can get it to work to the Sprint Mogul but I can not get it to
work from the Sprint Mogul.

I followed instructions on a Microsoft website and the Sprint Mogul just
doesn't allow you to use any of it's features via Bluetooth. It is a pain
in the butt and I asked someone that works for Sprint to check into it for
me.

I was able to connect via bluetooth , make sure that your settings on
the phone are set " make this device visible to other devices" under
the bluetooth settings

also on the phone go to programs then internet sharings and make sure
thta you have bluetooth under pc connection

then on your computer go the bluetooth wizard and set it to search for
a device you should see ur phone come up as a new network connection
or something like that
make sure your Wirelless connection is disable first as well so youll
know that you are connected with Bluetooth not wifi

then double clikc on the new network connection and should connect
but also go to ie on the phone so that it dials out and connect first
to the internet

again after I upgrade my ROM. BTW my ROM date found under
Settings->System->Device Information 06/14/07.

FYI I ended up sharing the internet on my Mogul via WiFi instead of
Bluetooth with a program called WMWiFiRouter.
