Exactly HOW does one use a cellphone to dial-up to their ISP?

I’ve been wanting a bluetooth enabled cellphone ever since I bought my iPAQ 2215 (has integrated bluetooth) back in November. Just didn’t like the Eriksson ones AT&T-W had, and their V600 (NICE phone!) just didn’t have the signal strength in my region (Binghamton NY area). So, I’ve been patiently waiting for VZW to bring one out (I'm even more pleased it’s gonna be a flip-fone).

Anyway, exactly HOW does one use the cellphone as a cell modem? I am sure the linking of the phone to the iPAQ via bluetooth will be a breeze, but without an integrated modem in either device, how do I dial-up my ISP on the cell and create an online conenction? I do still use dial-up on my home PC connection and of course plan on using them for the cell-iPAQ usage...

Thanks!

I've been using my MOTO 7868W for years as a modem... I belive most of the recent phones will allow you to do this.

Here's a basic primer on hooking up a PDA to a cell phone via Bluetooth:
