I've got a Nokia 6600 and I've read at http://www.dotdoh.com/btshare.html that you could share the internet connection via bluetooth with your PC.

Anyone made it work successfully? I wanna kiss my GPRS connection bill goodbye

This can be done, and used to work with older mRouter versions (the one with Nokia 3650, Sony Ericsson P800). Since then Nokia has changed the mRouter, but it is still possible with some tweak.

Perhaps you should ask that site about their directions, since they say it work with any Symbian device?

You need to install a little program called gnubox
have a look at the following links:

there does not seem to be a solution (yet) for the more recent phones based on Symbian 8.0 (6630, 6680,...)
