Funny, recently I had to stay for a week in a place without Wi-Fi or other Internet access, and as a workaround I used my Nokia 6680 with Vodafone configured as a wireless GPRS modem for my Windows XP UMPC. The local connection between UMPC and Nokia 6680 was a wireless 115 kbps bluetooth connection. It all worked fine, though I did pay a premium charge at Vodafone for using the phone as a data modem. This is in The Netherlands, and I definitely would want similar functionality with any Android phone: i.e., bluetooth and data modem functionality.
