Just did my update to 2.2, and figured that I'd give getting blue tooth tethering working again since I never got it working with 2.1. I know that 2.2 has the mobile hotspot feature, but bluetooth is much lower battery usage then the hotspot feature, from people who I've heard that got it working on other phones, pretty comparable.
So after some messing around I was successful in getting it working, so I figured I'd throw this up on here so that others may be able to take advantage of the knowledge.
Requirements: Android 2.2, Rooted phone (I used universal androot, superoneclick probably also works), 'tether blue free edition' from the market
Steps:
1. Root your phone (if not done already)
2. Install tether blu free edition
3. Turn on bluetooth
4. Launch the application
5. Click 'start tether'
6. Turn on bluetooth discoverable in the main phone settings: settings->wireless and networks->bluetooth settings
7. On the device you want to tether, pair with your milestone
8. You're done!
This seems to work with the phone connecting to either wifi or 3G. I was using my iPad (iOS 4.3) as the device to pair with
