Can the i500 be tethered (for DUN) via the included dock? Or, do you need another cable?

Thanks in advance for the responses! :wavey:

The included dock does work.
The dock can also be removed from its usb cable alowing the cable to attach directly into the I500 with one caveat, it does not charge the I500 battery.
Get the best of both worlds and search for a I500 charging usb cable. Then you can forget about that bulky cradle.
I also use the same usb cable in the car combined with an automotive 12v to usb adaptor to charge up while driving.
Modem drivers for the I500 are actually on the Samsung CD shipped with the I500.

Sweet! I just got the phone for my Dad, today. I need to show him that the phone does everything he wants and more. :) (I actually like this phone, myself)

Thanks! :D
