Cool

Should improve a bit as the backhaul improves.

I was going to suggest moving the cellphone closer to a window, but the speeds posted are quite respectable.

Spamhater - Can you perhaps tell me how to do it? I have the exact phone model, and a new macbook pro. i can connect the phone to the mb via bluetooth very easily (i didnt get a usb cable with the phone), but cant get the phone to act as a modem? Dont know what "account" setting should be used?

Do i need to get hold of Vodacom and register or something? How much does the entire setup and use cost? Was hoping i could use my phone as a modem at no cost at all... Possible? Im going overseas and was curious about this whole phone modem thing.

Thanks

AFAIK Bluetooth itself is pretty slow and can limit the max speed reached.
What speed do you get with USB ?

does that actually work

Yes of course it can make a huge difference, the structures that separate outdoors from indoors [walls, ceilings, windows, doors, etc] all interfere with wireless signals, so moving a wireless transceiver to a position where it encounters less signal interference is generally considered a good idea.
