Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

Karmic alpha 4

I have a windows mobile 6.1 PDA/phone, and whilst pairing / browsing /
sending files works smoothly, I am unable to use the 'Internet Sharing'
feature which exposes a PAN service (works perfectly on Windows + Mac
without prior configuration).

I was expecting this:

But nothing - no device appeared in the drop-down menu, and trying to
configure 'Mobile Broadband' was extremely confusing.. select country /
carrier and then be presented with completely irrelevant options about
'phone number' / ppp options.

Can someone explain why this didn't work?

The improvements with pulseaudio / A2DP headsets are /superb/ - PAN
support would round off Bluetooth support for me!
