There is an app made by a guy called chainfire called wmwifirouter that can do this.

It uses the devices data connection and routes it to your chosen wifi device.

I've not tried the software myself, but it says:
"...WMWifiRouter instantly turns your wifi enabled smartphone* into a wireless internet hotspot. Now you can use your laptop and any other device with wifi to get online and surf, email, instant message, and anything else you normally use the internet for! ..."

So it should do what you want it to, as long as you have network signal on your Diamond.

Consider looking into using their TRIAL to see if this app does what you require.

But make sure you have a flat data tariff else it could get quite expensive!

However if you go to the compatible devices page on the site it says:

'

is there a way to connect with my ps3?

You could probably do it with a Wireless router in between your PS3 and your phone but I guess that kind of takes the idea out of it.

What are you wanting to use it for? If it's online gaming I don't thing your ping will be up to it.

no it is not for gaming. it is just to connect to the net. looks like i'l have to get the right stuff to do the job
