I did this with my old Verizon Motorola phone several years ago via Bluetooth.
I paired my laptop (6.0-RELEASE afaik) with the phone and used it as a modem
to dial-up to Verizon's network. The speed wasn't great (EVDO) but it worked.
Verizon phones dial #777 for a data connection where the username is
[email protected] and the password is vzw. Don't think you need
the cable/dongle as long as your 755p supports DUN via bluetooth. I have a
700wx myself but haven't tried this yet.
