Hi, can anyone give me a definitive answer on whether the n810 can use the HTC TyTN, Orange SPV m3100 or however else it is branded as a 3G modem?

Thanks

i tried it with my TyTN II once and it worked fine. I don't remember exactly how i set it up though since i only did it that one time out of boredom to see if it would work. But I can throw my SIM back in it if need be to help out.

I installed the bluetooth pan app and can use my 810 with my AT&T 8525 via bluetooth at that point. The 8525 is running WM6.

Use search: there are at least 3 ways to make HTC TyTN (any any other WM6 phone) working as Internet source for ITTs:
1. The best, but a bit complex: configure BT PAN on n810 to use Internet Sharing app via bluetooth. I wrote a draft guide what to do. I'm using this method.
2. Install BT DUN profile support on TyTN - works, but as it's not officially supported has some side effects, like no way to control the connection on WM, no way to count data, you cannot use internet on TyTN at the same time.
3. Use WiFiRouter application (not free any more), that acts like a WiFi router, that you connect to via WiFi and share Internet connection this way - the biggest drawback is huge power drain

Thanks for your replies, everyone.

Unfortunately, they didn't help for an annoying reason: my mobile operator (Orange) messed with the OS and made it impossible to use internet connection sharing. I could reflash the ROM, but it isn't clear to me whether the phone will continue to work on that network.

I haven't tried the WiFiRouter approach yet, but I'll post if I have any success.

Awww darn...

This is why it's worth paying a little extra for sim-free unlocked devices, you actually get the full device without any restrictions or crippling, and you can change networks or even use several networks at once.

If you can get it unlocked it should work on any network. I've never heard of a European network operator shutting phones out just because they're unlocked.

I actually have both the TyTN and the TyTN II phones, both on Vodafone. The latter was my contract upgrade, leaving me with the older, slightly buggy TyTN running WM5.0 (a.k.a v1605 on Vodafone UK) to play with.

I plucked up the courage to reflash it with WM6, curing practically all of it's previous niggles. It presently has a Vodafone PAYG chip in it and works just fine on the Vodafone Network, allowing me to do practically anything I want within reason. I even use it for Video Calls on occasion, so I doubt that Orange's TyTN - branded the SPV m3100 - if reflashed will not work on their network.

Ironically, I tried (but NOT hard enough) to connect my TyTN WM6 to my N800 IT, but failed. I was in a hurry and eventually connected with an Orange Nokia 6630 which did work seamlessly. I will try again with my TyTN when I get a chance.

So, don't be afraid of reflashing your TyTN to WM6 - incidentally - and I almost forgot to mention this - the HTC TyTN forum community consider the SPV m3100 the most badly "software crippled" version of all the TyTN's adopted by the UK mobile phone service providers.

Of course, before you do anything, research carefully and backup your data. Hope this helps in some way.
