Assuming your laptop has bluetooth, it's trivial. Just set up a dialer
to dial #777 (Sprint) and it'll work. (On the phone's bluetooth
settings, you have to tell it to act as a modem, and at that point other
bluetooth functions are disabled)

Works perfectly, and with Sprint PCS you get unlimited data, so yay. I
use my 650 whenever I travel. SSH is a bit annoying, because of the
latency, but once you get used to it it's quite usable.

Before I had the 650, I used a 3rd party USB cable to do the same with
the treo 600.
