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
Rates in USD for GPRS:

3MB 9.9 3,072 0.1

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.
