My n800 arrived a few days ago and I’m so impressed with it. I had a nightmare trying to tether it to my mobile phone. You see, I flashed my phone to mobile 6 and now realise that M$ has removed Bluetooth DUN and replaced it with Bluetooth PAN. The n800 does not support PAN so I had to find another way.
After hours of scouring the internet for a solution I came across a right gem.
It’s basically a simple script that changes a line in the registry of the mobile phone (pocket pc). So instead of using bluetooth for it's ICS it now uses much faster WIFI.
Now I can connect to my mobile phone over WIFI using ad-hoc and it’s very fast as I am with T-mobile and they support HSDPA.
Also my mobile can now be used as a gateway with anything that has WIFI.
Surfing speed is the same as when I am on my home wifi network, pages just take seconds to render.
Just in case any one is looking for info about ppc6700 and sharing inter net over wifi on sprints network. i can confirm it works with the n800. It is soooooooo much faster than bluetooth. And wm6 is available on this phone finally!!!!
set up the n800 in ad-hoc. I could not get dhcp to work right on the n800 for some reason. You might need to set a static ip with the dns and the gateway as the ip address of the phone.
sprints dns might be better, you can find it here http://www.sprint.net/index.php?module=faq/dns

Very cool but You have one problem..... No Power saving mode while in ad-hoc battery will drain in under an hour and a half!
Ya my 6700 lasts about 15 min with the cell radio and the wi-fi going at the same time. Even with the blue tooth dun it only lasted about 30min. If i'm some where theres no external power ill suffer the speed decrease. But usually i have some sort of outlet. I don't mind plugging it up. The n800 should last a while since its only using wi-fi and it lasts some time while browsing at home on my network.
