Much to my dismay the most popular Windows Mobile 5 phone is the Palm Treo 700W which is currently only available from Verizon Wireless. Well, what if you had a Palm Treo 700W and paid a ton of money ($50) for a data plan on top of the $50 you were paying for a voice plan… Wouldn't it be awesome to just use the standard bluetooth on Treo 700W to connect to the Internet with your laptop via bluetooth dialup networking? Of course it would! However, that would mean you wouldn't pay the extra $59 a month to Verizon Wireless for a wireless broadband card! Verizon turned off modem over bluetooth functionality in Treo 700W (its a phone company guys, don't act surprised) but there is a way around it. You can still get on the Internet via your laptop through Treo 700W, you just have to use a USB connection and this software. Check out PdaNet software, for just $34 one-time you can say bye-bye to Verizon Wireless gauging your wallet every month for the service you're already paying for – wireless broadband!
