Can i use Samsung Galaxy Y as an internet dongle?
I want to buy Samsung Galaxy Y android Phone. I want to know if i can use it to surf the internet on a Laptop or a PC by connecting it via USB just like an internet dongle. I have heard that its not possible to do so on Samsung Phones. Is it true?

Restart your phone....turn off..turn on the wifi on your phone....it will start scanning available network...once you see your network,select it.
It will ask for password/encryption key...enter it...wait few seconds
.Viola!connected.
But you started your thread about something else right?

Won't using it as a 3G data card continuously for long periods damage the mobile (due to heating and faster battery draining)?

Ya, it make phone hot and battery drain very fast. So u will have to keep charging it continuously during use. Chances of damaging phone is high.
