Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?
Yes, ever since ditching my Blackberry, life is good.

2. What kind of phone do you have?
Motorola RAZR V3xx, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAZR#V3xx

3. Was it easy to get working?
Yes. Especially if you find this document:
https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1217
excerpt: "UserName: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
Address: wap.cingular
The current N800 settings have ISP instead of WAP."

4. Who is your service provider?
AT&T (formerly Cingular)

5. How affordable is your data plan?
Costs went down after ditching Blackberry, even after adding a line to our family plan. $20/mo for "Unlimited" 3G data plus my AT&T voice plan. Faster data, lower cost = Boycott RIM!

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
Pros:
Good value. Decent web browsing experience. This phone plays nice with the N800/ Bluetooth DUN. I don't even notice the phone. I leave it in a case for the most part.
Con: Why is there no headphone jack on this phone (apparently I'd have to use bluetooth headphones to appreciate its music features). I would trade all its still/vid-camera features for a headphone jack! But alas I do have ample multimedia available on N800 so not a big drawback unless I am travelling light.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?

Yes have it connect automatically when wifi is not present
2. What kind of phone do you have?

Nokia N75 UMTS

3. Was it easy to get working?

No brainer turned on Bluetooth and did the automatic configuration on the N800.

4. Who is your service provider?

The old Cingular now the new AT&T. I once had the old AT&T before they were bought out by Cingular who made me switch. The old AT&T was great the new one not so much :(

5. How affordable is your data plan?

$20 a month Media max is supposed to only give me unlimited wap access but it actually gives me unlimited tethering as I have never been billed for tethering. However I don't do too much streaming or the like.

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?

Not a good battery life on the phone if you like to tether, I have to charge every night without fail and with heavy use more than that.
It is the only 3G Symbian device you can buy on contract (ie get for free or $50 or so) in the US.
This loophole where Cingular/ATT has not charged for tethering is too well known so one day when I get a bill for $400 I won't be surprised.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1.: Yes (N800)
2.: Sony Ericsson W910i (HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS)
3.: it costs me 10 seconds of my life :)
4.: O2 Germany
5.: 25 Euro/month for the mobile data option (inkluding 5GB traffic/month)
6.: Good HSDPA avadibility in Berlin/Potsdam but no HSUPA. Most HSDPA-Areas are offering only 1.8 Mbit/s (e.g. T-Mobile/Vodafone are offering 3.6 Mbit/s). The smaller mobile data option is 10 Euro/month (inkluding 200 MB traffic/month). For me the phone works quite well.

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?
- rarely
2. What kind of phone do you have?
- Blackberry w phone
3. Was it easy to get working?
- programmed by the company but easy to use
4. Who is your service provider?
- TMobile
5. How affordable is your data plan?

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
- BBerrys are useless bricks compared to the N800. If we can get broader wireless we'd be able to dump the devices and carry only one

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Yes, for emergency casual work.
2. Nokia 8801 bluetooth paired with Nokia 770.
3. 100% Easy. Paired the phone, selected my provider and ready to go.
4. Movistar Argentina.
5. No unlimited plan in this country, here you are charged for byte transfered, really expensive.
6. Wifi if available or no Internet for the tablet :)

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

I used to a lot...until I got my iPhone (which can't tether)

I have 4 right now, 2 which I should probably get rid of.
1. iPhone (hacked & unlocked)
2. Nokia 8801 (T-mobile branded and locked and gimped)
3. T-mobile Dash
4. Sony Ericsson w600i (Cingular branded but unlocked)

1. No...for obvious reasons. Damn Apple's lockdown
2. Yes, set up was painless through the wizard.
3. No...Nokia still refuses to support the PAN profile and Microsoft refuses to release the CAB to re-enable DUN. An impasse.
4. Same as #2. When the wizard works, it works.

T-mobile USA

I have a grandfathered data plan, but its the same as the current one minus the hotspots but with 100MMS included. 19.99 for unlimited net access + a $40/600 min/n&w free voice plan.

EDGE is useful, the coverage is good in Washington DC and the surrounding areas, and i on average get anywhere from 60kbps to 150kbps. I think 3G is gonna be horrible for people (like me) that wanna jump from phone to phone since there is no standardized band for it. If i wanna buy a UTMS/HSDPA 3G phone, I'm gonna have to stick to T-mobile once its get deployed or drop it and go with the evil AT&T/Sprint/Verizon.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?
- rarely. I will probably cancel the data plan, as I originally purchased it to have connectivity on the N800 while on the go, and don't use it as much as I anticipated. With WiFi at work and at home, and Google's free 411 service for looking up things on the go, I probably only use the phone + N800 a couple of times a month. Usually while waiting in the car for my girlfriend while she's shopping. On second though, maybe I shouldn't cancel it...
2. What kind of phone do you have?
- Samsung SGH-A707 (aka AT&T Samsung Sync)
3. Was it easy to get working?
- Yes, especially with OS2008. Previously, I had to modify several parameters after choosing the "Cingular Internet" profile. Now, it just works.
4. Who is your service provider?
- AT&T (was Cingular).
5. How affordable is your data plan?
- USD $20/month.
6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
- The Samsung SGH-A707 is a 3G phone, so speeds on the N800 when connected via bluetooth are acceptable.
- The latency is still relatively high, making the overall experience a sluggish one. Still, faster than EDGE was on my previous phone.
- The USD $20 data plan I use via AT&T includes "unlimited" data usage and 200 text messages per month.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)

Oh how I've tried with my CECT P168. But no go.
Did I mention the CECT P168?

Did I mention "no go"

ATT/Cingular
Added a $20 data plan for this and if I can't get it to work I'mma cancel it.
Please somebody help me access the ATT network. I can get the internal browser to go out to the web but I can't get the N800 to get out there. It connects fine and then that's it. HALP!!!

1. Yes
2. Nokia 6120 classic
3. Simple
4. T-mobile

6. You are not supposed to use the phone as a modem on this lower priced plan but no one seems to check. I am using Open DNS addresses on the phone.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?
Not at the moment (see #2)

2. What kind of phone do you have?
I'm back to my old Nokia 3650! Until some kind sole in the Northern Hemisphere offers to ship me an E51 or N82 coz we won't be getting them here until next year - if ever. Hence why the answer to #1 is no.

3. Was it easy to get working?
When I used a Sony v630i = Yes
When I used a JasJam = No

4. Who is your service provider?
It will be Vodafone NZ as the only other choice is Telecom NZ who are CDMA based still.

5. How affordable is your data plan?
Lousy - best (read most sensible) is 3Gb per month for NZ$69 (c. US$55 a month),
it can have 6Gb for a further NZ$10 mind.

No one wants to be a bit pipe :o(

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
VOIP and IM are "not supported" in the contract - but Vodafone will happily sell you a phone with both those capabilities and the data plan to take advantage of them. i.e. "they hurt our txt & voice cash cow and we can't yet think of a way to charge extra for them"

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?
* Yes, when I want access and no Wifi is available (or would require a fee)

2. What kind of phone do you have?
* Nokia 6820

3. Was it easy to get working?
* Very easy, just picked the right carrier and it worked right away. (selected mmode on the 770, and AT&T on the N800)

4. Who is your service provider?
* AT&T

5. How affordable is your data plan?
* $20 a month, but i get a 23% discount on it. It's a luxury cost, but I consider it to be minor compared to the potential cost of subscribing to various hotspot services.

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
Technically, it doesn't allow tethering, but my plan didn't actually have any data options that did allow tethering... and I'm not using it all the time so I don't really care. The plan is for "unlimited" use, and I don't know if it has any hidden monthly caps.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?

3. Was it easy to get working?
Yes it was very easy to get working.

4. Who is your service provider?
Rogers Cable Canada

5. How affordable is your data plan?
$7/ month unlimited on device browsing (I assume that applies only to WAP)
$0.05 per KB through 3rd party (non rogers) applications (includes tethering)

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
WAP is pretty lame. Google is the best site for WAP browsing.

Canada sucks for GSM band wireless internet options and pricing. I'll likely be switching away from Rogers when a competitor comes along but right now we don't have many options. Currently rogers is the only player. (they own Fido) and Bell uses CDMA.

Wireless cell phone data rates are outrageous. Now that wimax is available I'm looking forward to getting that service but I hope I can connect with my tablet without needing rogers/bell's wimax modems. It would make the service more useful.

O2 (UK)

5. How affordable is your data plan?

Not very - it costs an arm and a leg: £3/MB!

O2 are one of the worst data providers in the UK. I'll be switching to T-Mobile or 3 at the earliest oppurtunity (ie. when my contract is up for renewal and the N95 8GB or N82 is available so probably January). Currently I think 3 have the best UK data plans, offering 1GB/month for £5 3G/HSDPA.

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?

Avoid O2, Orange and Vodafone UK. :)

Great phone but support for it is very poor in the USA because it really wasn't made for USA. Internet on phone is fine. Perfect for emergency e-mails web searches.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

Surprised to see so many responses :) I've settled on Sony Ericsson K850i after confirming with tnkgirl that it gets good transfer speed using bt dun in the SF Bay Area. The initial impetus behind the question is the current situation where using a cellphone for 3g connectivity for an internet tablet often requires buying hardware which duplicates functionality i.e. the n95 + the n810 gets you two wifi connections...

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Regularly when no free wifi
2. Moto Razr V3
3. Connection was very simple
4. Sprint
5. US $39.99 Unlimited Tethered Modem plan - also use it for my laptop
6.Moto Razr not the greatest battery life, but acceptable - Sprint 3g access available in most med to large US markets - very fast

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. I didn't up to now (no bluetooth/GPRS phone so free wifi only - good enough), but I just purchased a new phone to extend possibilities
2. Nokia 6086 (139 euros including a prepaid card of 4.5 euros with SIM + phone number)
3. Connection was really simple.
4. Orange
5. "mobicarte" + "option surf": prepaid so no hidden costs. 10 euros / month for unlimited port 80 and all ports with a hack (same situation as FPP) + 5-6 minutes of outgoing voice calls (incoming calls are free for the receiver in France).

6. Looking forward to T-Mobile's 3G service (and devices) since it's my primary provider - AT&T's coverage is great (and supports 3G) but customer service is poor

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?

Not a lot, but sometimes. Mostly I'm only away from work/home wifi while driving, so my tablet and phone are in my jacket breast pocket. But there have been a couple cases where I've used my phone for tethering.

2. What kind of phone do you have?

Right now: nokia 2865i
Soon: Kyocera Strobe or Samsung SCH-R410 (if it has DUN)
Further out: Might get a Cradepoint with Sprint SERO, or T-Mobile if they go 3G real soon.

3. Was it easy to get working?

The 2865i is easy peasy. But you always have to approve it whenever you start a data call. The Kyocera Strobe (tested on my wife's) is mostly easy, and doesn't require per-session approval.

4. Who is your service provider?

MetroPCS. See below about why I might switch.

5. How affordable is your data plan?

Web is a $5 add-on for unlimited access to port 443 (https). Along with unlimited talk minutes for only $35.

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?

Using their HTTP proxy hasn't worked for me at all. Setting up a tunnel proved to be a hassle (have to SSH first, didn't work on one of my machines, etc.). If everything on Maemo had SOCKS 5 support, or at least the web browser, it would be MUCH better (SOCKS 5 to OpenSSH to the world). But that's not the case. Even OS 2008's microb makes SOCKS difficult. And support for password protected proxies is a real must.

That, plus the fact that the 2865i, Strobe (and I think the R410) are all 1x and not EVDO, are reasons why I'm thinking I want a separate data service for my N800/N810, instead of piggybacking it on my voice/TXT service.

So, I'm looking at a more dedicated data service/device. Like a phone I can just use as a tether (with T-mobile: best unlimited internet with tethering rate I've found), or a cradlepoint mobile-router/personal-hot-spot with a USB dongle. Then I can have MetroPCS for my unlimited talk&TXT, with my N800/N810 on a real mobile internet feed.

My main hesitation is ... signing up for a 2 year contract within the next month or two without knowing what exactly the coming year will bring for the NIT family. WiMAX in my area? Rumor of a 3G GSM version? So I might wait until the middle of the year to actually move away from MetroPCS for my data feed. Especially since I don't really seem to have a driving need for the data feed at the moment.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Yes
2. Samsung M619
3. Not too bad, but for some reason, when I established bluetooth connection, phone would keep freezing up. Had to do try this about 5-7 times, before bluetooth profile was stable on phone.
4. Sprint PCS
5. I was paying $20/mon for Sprint Vision, however, it wouldn't work for DUN. I had to upgrade to $40/mon for unlimited data to use my phone as a modem. I am getting a blackberry for work, though, and will be getting my data with that device. I'll post an update then.
6. See below:

I have a question for anyone out there using Sprint, or may have run into this problem from other carriers. I have been trying to get the video IM client to work over Sprint's network to video conference with my PC using GoggleTalk. However, every time it establishes a connection, my phone (modem) cuts out. It does not do this when I am simply in a chat session, on the internet with flash video, etc., so I do not know if Sprint has purposely block video chat traffic on their network. If any one has any info about this or if any one else
has run into this problem, I'd appreciate knowing about it. Thanks!

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

Sorry, I mistyped before... should be Samsung M610 phone.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?

Yes

2. What kind of phone do you have?

I used a Nokia 6630 at first, then a Nokia N80. I had the N80 firmware updated to N80i (internet edition lately).

3. Was it easy to get working?

Trivial.

4. Who is your service provider?

Vodafone Germany.

5. How affordable is your data plan?

I started with 30MB for 10€/months, and went to 200MB for 20€/month. This comes in addition to the voice plan.

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?

What users should know is that using data abroad (roaming) can be insanely expensive. Really. 40€ per megabyte. Yes, that is MEGA.

OTOH, I can't say much about data plans that wouldn't be very German-specific. There are seemingly better deals, for example Base (which uses the E+ network) has a flatrate for 25€/month. The catch appears to be that they force you to use a proxy that recompresses everything, and that you may find out that the load on their network is sometimes, or at places, so high that it is not usable.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

Everyone talks about phones that work it seems ...
Well not so with me - how about a failue story (so far)


1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?
- Want to, tried to, but Can't.

2. What kind of phone do you have?
- Samsung Blackjack (well documented about lack of DUN on this and WM5 phones)

3. Was it easy to get working?
- did not work (as yet) with my N810 - as PAN is missing (or deactivated on N810)
and DUN is missing from phone ...

4. Who is your service provider?
- Cingular (AT&T)

5. How affordable is your data plan?
- $40 freaking dollars and I could not use it to tether as yet

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
- On the phone itself 3G service from AT&T (formerly Cingular) is fast in America
- Bluetooth works fine with N810 - but no data connectivity
- Plan is expensinve as they hoist a PDA plan on you if you buy a smartphone (very bad)
- avoid WM5 phones like the plague - bad experience with connectivity

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?

4. Who is your service provider?

T-Mobile.

5. How affordable is your data plan?

$29.95 unlimited. Includes T-Mobile Hotspots. Actually just reduced to $19.95.

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?

Great phone/provider/plan. The most affordable total package I found.

I have a Nokia 6110 Navigator (now many people know why I decided to buy a N800 and not the N810) I have Orange Data Flat (2.5 GB for 59 CHF per month) price plan. It was very easy to get it working, just walking through the wizard. The provider was supported. What else? The 6110 supports HSDPA and so fast internet is available on the road and that I'm soon switching over to Swisscom and I'm curious if I should take the 5 GB Plan for 69 CHF or 1.5 GB for 49 CHF or if 100 MB is enough (for 18 CHF) each per month...

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

I am using a Treo650, running Palm/Zlauncher with custom visual themes.

Unfortuantely Bell Canada still has ridiculous data rates, even for the old 1X network in contrast to the very fast and fairly new EVDO in Ontario. So I remain somewhat stuck between both worlds with my N800 and the Treo. No modem connectivity for me. So the N800 is really for Wifi Home use and media fun and the Treo650 is for very basic mobile work with calendar and phone and notes etc without any integration or easy sharing of data.

example: $100 a month might get you about 300mbs and then $30 per mb after that when over limit. So forget about full size web pages or larger files through that as a modem.

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

And the address of the proxy is ... ?

Thanks,

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Yes (on my new N800)
2. Phone: Treo 755p (palm os)
3. How Easy: Very Easy
4. Provider: Sprint/USA
5. Cost: $40/month (standard price for tethered modem plan, though I'm currently getting a discount due to bad service)
6. Notes:
Obviously Treo has lots of internet and non-internet tricks up its sleeve,
- Treo 755p (palm-os) does a couple of decent things on its own, but anything beyond basic internet access to much for the small screen, hence my purchase of the N800. They make a nice pair.

In the Samsung u740, you can force the phone to only use CDMA and not connect to EVDO, and use normal minutes instead of having a data plan. Not recommended for heavy / fast use.

My setup:

770(OS 2007) <--> Bluetooth <--> Samsung u740 <--> Verizon CDMA(not EVDO)

Re: Which phone do you use? (poll and discuss)
 

1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?
Ocasionally yes, I do have it ready in case of a connectivity emergency. Regularly
I use WiFi but, I I do get trapped in a Place where ni WiFi is available and then I do
urgently need to connect to my servers, the Bluetooth-cellphone-GPRS connection is
the way to go. Yea, you guessed it, this is for Information Technology tech support.

2. What kind of phone do you have?
I used to have a Nokia 6230, then a Nokia 6230i and currently I do have a Nokia E65
which I love and hate at the same time. I hate it specially because of the WPA-PSK bug
it has. I have discussed this on the Nokia forums extensively. I love it since its a nice cool
phone.

3. Was it easy to get working?
A breeze with all, the N770 (when I had that), and also with the N800...
hope the same will be true when I do get the N810.

4. Who is your service provider?
TELCEL in Mexico.

5. How affordable is your data plan?
Not affordable at all: it is very expensive.
Rates for: CSD / HSCSD For: monthly billing plans only (not prepaid)
Telcel GSM plan USD $0.11 por minuto Billed monthly

6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
There are other companies options in Mexico, such as BAM which is
an unlimited time plan, but bandwidth varies a lot...from 0.xxx to
256Kbps according to my experience and measurements,
If you are a power user of cell phone Internet connectivity, get the
unlimited plans, which are about about USD$80.00/month
ADDITIONAL to your voice plan.
