@dvlzplayground,
"if u have a 3g phone, activate bluetooth. on ur mac, on bluetooth as well and when ur phone comes up in the list, click Connect to Network. after that u can surf internet using ur phone's 3g connection."

The above actually works?! Trial & tested?! I've been trying [albeit not hard enough] to find ways to use my iPhone as a 'modem' ! Will test it out as soon as I get back into town Thanks
