I have a Nokia cell phone without bluetooth, but I also have a USB cable for it. When plugged into a Linux box, it can work as a modem. I was hoping to try and get this functionality working on the n800... I'd assume it'll take some hacking. So to confirm.. I can use the cable that comes with the n800 (USB-A to USB mini-A) and attach a USB-A gender changer to it? One more question... where/how would I get the stock kernel so that I can re-flash it if the usbhost kernel messes anything up?
