3G connectivity on the Mac

[neio]

Is anybody using 3G to browse the net and if so can you list the phone you are using?

I am using my HTC TyTN (HSDPA) via Bluetooth PAN to connect to Vodacom's VPN APN and get around 50KB/s on a 74% connection.

I am actually connected now, downloading Google Earth in the Background to use up all of my remaining bundle

Nokia E61, bluetooth. It's so easy to set up and it works like a charm.

PM me if you want howto.

Thx, any other phones ya know of?

I think any phone that supports bluetooth tethering can do it.

I assume Windows mobile is more complicated than plain old Nokia or other brands. What phone do you have?

I use the Nokia E70, N70 via B/tooth..

Nope ... I had to download special scripts for my Nokia 6680, and fiddle inside there ... My WM device uses PAN, so I pair the two devices, tell the phone to dial, and click on "Join network on WM device"

QED

Other way around mate ... Mac has native support for about 90% of Nokia phones

Sorry, should rephrase: iSync has native support for 90% of Nokias.

Using PAN is still the easiest way for me, so that will be a requirement for my next phone

Oi, I don't have the Macbook at the office ... will look around for you

Never mind: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/ ... more specifically http://www.taniwha.org.uk/files/NokiaHSDPA2007-07.zip ... make sure you get the script that you use the APN name as the telephone number (the *99# is already coded in the script)
