Using mobile as a wireless pc modem

    Has anyone setup either a Nokia Series 60 (or perhaps Series 40) or Sony
    Ericsson mobile as a wireless modem.
    I'm guessing this requres the serial COMMs profile for Bluetooth (unless there
    is a way of doing it with the data cable??)

    I have a slightly unconventional reason for wanting to do this.
    I want to diagnose the HTTP responses which are coming back from the
    Vodafone Live! ISP.
    I am developing J2ME midlets which rely on processing http responses from
    a servlet. The midlets run fine on Noka & Sony Ericsson handsets but on Motorola handsets I am getting an exception because the midlet believes there is something wrong with the http header of the response returned. The Motorola phones (unlocked) are fine with an O2 SIM and using the O2 GPRS APN. So, by process of elimination I believe the issue is something to do with the way in which the APN proxy (wap proxy?) for Vodafone Live! is postprocessing the http responses send back to the phone. I think the only way I will be able to look at the actual headers returned byte for byte is by initiating the connection from a PC and using the phone as a modem using the Vodafone live APN.

    JoikuSpot may be what you're looking for ? Turns a phone with 3G and wifi into a wireless hotspot ? It's free.

    you know you can do on device debugging? So you could have the phone plugged in and run the program through the emulator and get the responses directly in eclipse or whatever?

    it works with SE's anyway, I've never tried it with a moto. Afaik the headers are different when you're using the phone as a modem anyway
