Hello,

I'm sure this has been asked before, but can the Treo 650 be used as a modem
through Sprint? I have a sprint phone now that works great as a modem
through my laptop, but I'd like to upgrade to the Treo, but I don't want to
lose the modem/laptop capability.

Thanks.

Yes, it can be used as a modem via Bluetooth (nothing else needed, other
than Bluetooth on the laptop) or via the included Hotsync cable. The
cable, AFAIK, requires third-party software (i.e., PDANet). In my
experience the cable is faster, however. YMMV.
