    If I have a tablet that has bluetooth capabilities, could I use my phone with bluetooth enabled as an internet connection? I am trying to figure out alternatives to wifi since I dont have a wireless router.

    If your Phone allows Internet tethering via BT, you should be fine. Some Phones Do, some do not.

    It's built in under settings network settings. You need Android 2.2 at least I think though. Even then, if your phone doesn't support it, it won't work. I have USCell, and they do not support it ... yet.
