For those of you that use AT&T Wireless Service with mMode, you can connect to the internet using your phone as the modem, either with Bluetooth or IR (I used IR to test it). I have to say, it's pretty damn cool! I'm not sure how quickly the data usage will amount, but for a few times here and there, it might be well-worth your playing and paying!!!
First, you'll need to get the AT&T Mobile Connection software here:

I downloaded the Professional version for PocketPC, not the Enterprise version for PocketPC.
I have the Sony Ericsson T68i. To make this work, I had to enable its IR port, then I manually had the AT&T Mobile Connection software find the modem/phone via IR. At first, the configutaration wizard didn't find it because I didn't have my phone's IR port turned on.
After downloading and installing the software, it's pretty easy to get connected. Just follow the wizard on first load of the software on your PocketPC, and then Connect. Once you connect, you can fire up your Internet Explorer or any other internet-based software.
Let me know if any of you try it out. I think this software also works with other mMode phones from AT&T, like the Motorola T720, Motorola Timeport P7382i, Nokia 8390, and the Siemens S46 Multi-band phone.
The software's manual states it will work with: Compaq iPaq with ARM SA1110 and version 1.69 ROM, HP 540 and 560 series PocketPC. Of course, I have a Dell Axim X5 400MHz, and it worked fine for me. I'd assume this software will also work with the Toshiba e740 and others out there that have PocketPC2002, maybe even the older version of PocketPC OS.
