Question [Q] Can I use Bluetooth on NC to share 3G?

I have rooted a NC with CM7 build 87. Very happy to learn that there is some Bluetooth functionality. Question - If wifi is not available (banned in dorms), can my son somehow use his Droid Incredible and share the 3G internet access with the Nook Color? Alternative would be somehow linking NC with a hardwire e-net, which sounds even harder to me. Otherwise his NC (grad gift) won't have any internet access in any of the dorms at college this fall.

Thanks!

This thread is about bluetooth PAN tethering, though from what I hear, bluetooth on the Nook might not be ready for primetime. If battery isn't a huge concern, get Wireless Tether for the Droid and then just connect the Nook to the wifi from the Droid. You might need to jump through some hoops to get the Nook to connect to adhoc networks. I was having trouble until I loaded Phiremod, and it just works like a champ.

Yes your son will be able to tether the nook wirelessly to the droid and share the 3G connection.
