How To: Use A Motorola v710 Cellular Phone + Verizon to Connect to the Internet

I just got a Motorola v710 cellphone. I've been digging around the internet to see if anyone had hacked up a way to let it sync via Bluetooth using iSync. Apparently, the only official way to do it is with a USB cord.

In any case, this entry is not about that but about the diversion I came across in midstream (I still haven't reached the other bank yet, and will let you know if I do). If you're on Verizon and you have a Motorola v710 mobile phone, you can use it as a modem to connect to the internet. Rather than providing you all the details of just how to do it, I'll refer you to Steven Fetting's explanation, which is complete with images of all the steps and very easy to follow.

Some other pages I came across while search this possibility included those from Craig thoughts and Bactroid.net. I didn't try either of these but they seem to do the same thing.
