Greetings,
Per the subject line, would anyone have any recommendations on a
smartphone under a Sprint plan that smoothly works with F10?
Samsung Instinct?
The new Palm Centros?
One of the Blackberries?
Thanks!

I have a Centro and have used it a lot with both my Nokia N810 and with
my laptop through F9 and F10.
The bluez package has changed a bit on F10, so that I have to manually
make the connection and start the rfcomm process.
So I don't think that basic compatibility has changed in F10, just some
methodologies.
Also, dial-up entries for NetworkManager changed in F9, and I have not
tried to mess with it in F10.
Here is what I do now on 64bit F10:
I used the bluetooth applet to establish a trusted connection the first
time -- then:
$ sudo hcitool scan
to get the MAC address of my phone for cut and paste.
$ sudo sdptool browse paste_my_mac_address
This shows that on my Centro, dial up networking is on channel 2.
$ sudo rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 paste_my_mac_address 2
This creates the connection and the device, and runs in the foreground.
In another terminal I can issue an ifup sprint or wvdial sprint, which I
had previously set up using system-config-network to work with
/dev/rfcomm0 as the modem.
For an extended session you may wish to kill Networkmanager so it does
not stomp on you.
CAVEAT EMPTOR:
You may need to purchase a special 'plan' from Sprint to enable dial-up
networking.
NOTE:
Here is my /etc/wvdial.conf as created by system-config-network as a
reference.
[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Baud = 115200
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
Init3 = ATM0
FlowControl = CRTSCTS
[Dialer sprint]
Username = moo
Password = foo
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Init1 = ATZ
Inherits = Modem0
Good Luck!
