Its possible, because thats how mine works...!

Pull the wifi card out - well, just slide it up slightly, and the next
connection
will be over bluetooth. Push it in, and the next connection will be wifi.
I occasionally have to cancel a bluetooth dial request on first hotswap,
but after that its ok

This works fine for IE, but haven't got inbox to do it yet.

Both private and internet "advanced/select network" settings are set to
"mobile" which is a new profile I setup with just bluetooth dial settings,
"this connects to the internet" ticked and proxy server unticked.

In "network card" I have it set to "work" (not internet), I have also
manually
set ip address and dns in there, not using dhcp.

I think that last "work" setting may be the key.

i copied the dial up settings from the BT settings profile to my work one.
if im connected via wifi, then i have a net connection. if not, i can
manually dial - all without going into connections.
