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)

I second this request, I am just not computer literate enough to feel confident about doing it on my own. I plan to get a N900, but I am waiting until I know I can reliably get internet on the N900 from my phone via BT, the same way I get it on my 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.
Correct; I want to use the Sprint phone as the internet source. As for joikuspot, I haven't tried it, but I have read that it is a serious battery hog. With just using BT DUN from my Sprint phone, I can get internet access for long periods of time without killing the battery.
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.

I modified rfcomm.conf, but I do not see gprs.chat - In fact, I do not have a /etc/ppp dir at all. Am I missing a prerequisite?
