Can someone write a script or small application to automate the process, or even make the connection visible in the available networks dialog (like the N810)
For whomever does this, drinks are on me at CES later this week......

Checking again for any update for a prepackaged solution? I want to get the N900 but I want to get my internet from my Sprint phone.......and I can tell that those instructions are beyond my capabilities.
If someone is in the SF Bay Area and could do it for me, I'll buy you lunch.......

I was going to say the same but I think he wants it the other way around - effectively to run joikuspot on his sprint phone and connect his N900 through that to the web.
That's how I read it anyway.

Actually, setting up BT dun client is a bit simpler. Install the package bluetooth-dun-client from my repository, which installs all the files described in my post. You are left with a need to edit two files:
/etc/bluetootf/rfcomm.conf : Change the BT address in this file to the address of your phone.
/etc/ppp/chat/gprs.chat : change internet.pelephone,net.il to the name of the APN your provider uses. (This assumes using GPRS/UMTS. If you use another connection, such as CDMA, the file needs more editing).
After that you should have a connection called orange in your connection manager which connects to the internet through your phone.
/etc/bluetootf/rfcomm.conf : Change the BT address in this file to the address of your phone.
/etc/ppp/chat/gprs.chat : change internet.pelephone,net.il to the name of the APN your provider uses. (This assumes using GPRS/UMTS. If you use another connection, such as CDMA, the file needs more editing).

Well, I used PC Suite to connect, and it worked, so that's good enough for now.
Also, will wifi still work with this method?
