Ok I figured I would make this thread to show how I got my Verizon V3c Razr to connect my laptop to the internet via Bluetooth DUN (Dialup Networking) on the 1x network, You can not currently connect via DUN on the EDVO network, at least not yet(yea I know it sucks).
I upgraded from the v710 and used DUN every now and then, it worked perfectly when I needed it. I got the V3c lastnight at BestBuy, got it home and tried to connect via DUN and it didn't work. So below is how I got it to work.
First off DUN via Bluetooth is enabled on most if not all of the V3z's.

I have found that the phone MUST be booted with BT ON in order for the modem service to be available.
If you turn on the Phone with BT OFF, then turn ON BT, the modem service is not detected. With BT turned ON, cycle phone OFF/ON, then the BT Modem service will be available via the computer.
I know it has been discovered that cycling off/on brings modem functionality back, but I discovered this to be a little more specific as to why.
Ok so you have to turn off the EDVO on your phone to get DUN to work properly which means your phone will not have VCast, it will simply say VCast coverage not avaliable. Your WAP will still work on the 1x network just fine. You can also turn EDVO back on if you want to by going back into test mode and reversing the changes. It's very simple and takes but a couple mins.

To disable EVDO do this:
PLEASE BE CAREFUL. IT IS VERY EASY TO SCREW UP YOUR PHONE FROM WITHIN THE PROGRAMMING MENU.
1. From the main menu, type #073887* then type 000000 for the security code to enter the programming menu
2. Select ok
3. Scroll down to test mode. Enter the menu, highlight "enable" and press the right soft key to select
4. Reboot the phone
5. Hit the left soft key and the menu key simultaneously until a white screen appears with the letters "FTS" on top. This may appear automatically when the phone reboots
6. Hit the right soft key three times
7. Scroll down to "HDR Pref:" and select "CDMA" with the right soft key
8. Scroll down to "HDR Hybr:" and select "off" with the right soft key
9. Push the left soft key and "EXIT"
10. Exit test mode by pushing the clr key then the left soft key
11. Reenter the programming menu and disable test mode
12. Reboot the phone.
JUST BE CAREFULL, as you might ruin ur phone
Ok so after you turn off the EDVO, you have to make one more change in your Dialup Settings:
Quote:
Network Connections Settings (computer dial up settings):
Dial number: #777
Username: "your10digitnumber"@vzw3g.com
Password: vzw
Select Properties,
Select "Options" tab
Under "Dialing options" check "display progress while connecting", "prompt or name and password, certificate, etc.", and "prompt for phone number"
Select Security tab, Select "Advanced" (NOT typical), Under "Data encryption" select "Optional Encryption"
Under "Login Security" select "Allow These Protocols" and check ONLY "unencrypted passwords (PAP)"
Select "Networking" tab
Ensure that "type of dial up" is set to PPP
You should now be able to login without problems and connect to the 1x network. I use Bluetooth to connect my phone to my laptop running xp. Thanks for everybody who provided all the above information, I just put it all together to try to help others from spending so much time trying to figure this all out. It's very frustrating

Yeah, thats pretty much it in a nutshell. No more, No less. Anyone should be able to git-r-DUN following those steps.
That remains to be seen. With my VX8000, I never was charged any extra, but I also carried the VCAST plan, so unlimited data via VCAST. I don't see how this would be viewed differently, unless they changed something. The next bill will tell.

let me make sure one thing: after i disable EVDO, do i need to renable it again? or everthing is settled? i don't really need EVDO. the reason i ask this is because they talk about "test mode"
I am using a Mac for this and I followed your instructions.....However I am getting an error about the user name and password. Also, what modem string do I need for this? I was using a Treo 650 to connect, will the old modem string I was using work? Thanks for your help.

a little trick that they don't really specify that works for me is to press the CLR key first, and while holding that, press the left soft key and after a sec let go of CLR and then the left soft key following immediately after

Also, make sure you are not inside a menu that can be exited from, ie, look for an "exit" soft key. Once you are backed out of the menu, use the clr-left soft.

I'm not sure on the MAC. There IS a thread specific to MAC stuff, so you might want to look there first. Also, I think Mark Venture's site may have some info as well.

Once you disable EVDO, you loose the capability to utilize the faster network for browsing the web on your phone (browsing still works in the 1X mode, just a little slower), and you lose VCAST. If you want those features back, you have to go back through the same process to re-enable EVDO.

i still couldnt get out of the test mode. i had to actually change hdr pref back to auto before i could exit.. so if anyone gets stuck in testmode, change the settings back to stock and CLR + LEFT SOFT KEY should work..
You can also do "master reset" under "initial setup" and that will return the phone to the original settings, including getting out of the test mode. Be sure to input your changed settings again if you do the reset.
