Can I use the bluetooth connection on my laptop, that is connected to teh web, to give me internet connection on my phone? I do not subscribe to a data plan because, well, Canadian data plans cost more than my car payments a month.

So there you have it.
With my HTC 5800 (Bell) can i connect to Bluetooth and get a web connection on it.
Yes. You can use an active sync passthrough connection or set up your PC as a BT access point. The access point is faster but dependent on having better BT stacks than the default MS ones. Widcomm/ Broadcomm are superb.
