On my N95 I was able to use it as a modem without my provider knowing.
If you're that paranoid you can just tunnel everything through ssh from
your laptop (which is what I did to hide certain services which were
blocked). However to get the HSDPA I had to subscribe to Mobile
broadband. So you can "just do it" in the words of Nike but it'll be so
damn slow you'll want to subscribe to the proper service (only cost me
an extra £5 anyway)
