I have an x51 that I have not yet upgraded from ROM A01.

I am thinking about switching from Cingular to Verizon because Verizon has better coverage in a particular area.

I was hoping to get a phone that I could occasionally use as a modem -- this would not be for regular use as a modem, just in an "emergency." I don't necessarily need high-speed access, regular old dial up would be OK for my purposes. I'm not trying to rip off any carrier, I just want to be able to use my phone to pick up email every once in a while.

Of course, the simplest would be pairing the x51 with a bluetooth phone, but I understand that Verizon has crippled its phones.

Here are my questions:

1) Can you pair an x51 with any currently offered Verizon bluetooth phone (mot e815, mot razr v3c, samsung SCH-a950) to connect to the net (either to a dialup ISP or otherwise) to download e-mail. I went to a Verizon store and tried typing ##DIALUP into a few phones (razr, e815) to activate DUN, but the phones did not give any sign of activating DUN.

2) Can you connect an x51 to a currently offered Verizon phone using a cable to connect to the net (dialup ISP or otherwise) and download e-mail? What phones?
