Yes, PDANet works fine. I was referring to tethering without paying anything in addition. If I didn't make that clear, my apologies.

Yes. I've been using BTModem since I had my i730. And if I use it on my i760, I can connect just fine -- and the first thing I get when I try to browse is Verizon's web page telling me that I can use their BroadbandAccess feature for a mere $15 a month. No, thanks. I never got that when using it on my i730 -- I could just connect and use the Internet. The fact that it does that on my i760 makes it basically worthless -- after all, you can just change the phone mode in Settings to "modem via Bluetooth" and it does the same thing. BTModem is unnecessary.
