Menot,

Just some thoughts:

What OS are you running on your laptop? I have Win7, and it installed the Modem drivers for the N900 when I first plugged it in. I can now use it as a USB modem from Win7 networking connection without PC Suite. It runs at full network speed for hours no problems.

I am using Week 47-5 FW in my N900

As shipped, the N900 does not support the DUN (dial up networking) profile. That is why you do not see it in BT profile discovery. It is however, easy to turn on with a shell script. Search the site for details.

Even with BT, I prefer to use USB, as the connection is fast, reliable, and powers the N900, instead of drawing even MORE power from the device. You could of course connect it to the power mains, but then why just just plug it in to your laptop?? I turned on BT DUN in the N900 JIC I forget my cable! ;^)
