10.7 Using Your Device as a Modem
(Internet Sharing)
Internet Sharing connects your desktop or notebook computer to the
Internet by using your device’s data connection (3G/GPRS or EDGE, for
instance). You can choose to connect via USB or Bluetooth.
Notes • Make sure your device has a SIM card installed, and your device has a GPRS or
phone dial-up modem connection. If your device has not been set up with
a data connection yet, tap Menu > Connection Settings on the Internet
Sharing screen. For more information about setting up these connections,
see “3G/GPRS” and “Dial-up” in this chapter.
• If you want to use a USB cable connection, you must first install Windows
Mobile Device Center or Microsoft ActiveSync version 4.5 or later on the
computer.
• If want to use a Bluetooth connection, make sure your computer has built-in
Bluetooth capability. If your computer does not have Bluetooth, you can
connect and use a Bluetooth adapter or dongle.

Center or ActiveSync on your computer.
