Bluetooth tethering so easy

I've successfully bypassed the useless Sony Ericsson Mobile Networking Wizard and m-Router! It used to be that I had to depend on the extremely unreliable software suite provided by SE to tether my notebook to my Sony Ericsson P1i's 3G connection with Maxis. Phone'undetected' and connections 'refused' were common.

I really should've thought of this a long time ago, but hey, better late than never.

The process is easy and results are consistent. For the first time:
1- Create a bluetooth serial port connection with the phone modem
2- Connect the bluetooth serial port
3- Create a PPP dialup connection
4- Use username:maxis, password:wap, and dialup number *99***1#
5- Connect using that connection

After setting it up, step 5 is all that's needed to connect in seconds.
