We used a Samsung r500 cell phone to connect to the internet, then connected the Dell Mini 9 to the cell phone with bluetooth.
We then used the cell phones internet connection to browse the web and run a speed test
We did all this one afternoon at the local Chinese Buffet

  • bluetooth tethering. depends on whether the pc and phone have bluetooth. not all phones can tether.

    useful for accessing internet outside wifi hotspots.
