    If you have Nokia PC suite installed it should let you use it as a modem once you have connected it via USB cable. (I think).

    Would you really want to do that? Wouldnt it be cheaper with a dongle and use free wifi hotspots if available?

    Depends on who's his carrier is.
    He might have Unlimited Data plan.
    Why pay for 2 Mobile Sim cards + a Dongle when what he already has will do. (This *IS* a money saving forum after all!)

    Hi 1st set up a network on your lappy
    2nd name the phone 5800
    connect via network connection on phone,
    this is how I got my N95 to go on the net.
    then once out,
    connect to wifi spots using the same method.
    it may tell you in your instructions
