Nokia Network Bridge: no IP passthrough on E90, yet

It seems that there exists one feature that the E90 lacks compared to its other siblings and that is the IP passthrough.

In short, there are 2 connection options when connecting E90 to a PC with a cable: PC Suite and Data transfer. One is for the general syncing and connectivity while the other is for plain and simple mounting of the memory card to transfer files back and forth. I will write later about the usefulness of this second option. On E61 though, there is a third option called IP passthrough. Selecting it allows the user to connect to internet via the host computer (acting as a network bridge). This may be very useful when connecting to a PC at work, at a friend, etc... and checking your email or downloading the newest podcasts to your nokia for the road using the Nokia podcasting app.

More on this on Nokia Network Bridge or just plain here.
