Yeah, I gotta agree.....
I have a LG CU-500, a pretty cheap but feature-laden clamshell type phone
and through cingular's 3G HSDPA, it is pretty awesome.
It is so fast, in fact, that I could care less what the upload and download numbers are. Bluetooth connection is solid to 20 or more feet.
It all depends on your location, but since July I have noticed a steady increase in the speed and range of cingular's high speed network.

Would you like to mention the configuration setting that you use to access Cingular's 3G HSDPA ? I say this because right now I am on T-Mobile Plan (with a Nokia 3650 and am done with the contract ).

I can switch over to Cingular anytime ( I have a Nokia 6682 also). What Service Plan do you have ?

19.99 a month medianet unlimited plan on cingular.
Tethering is not explicitly allowed, you are at your own risk, and the settings are available all over with a google search.

Unfortunately, I can't upgrade-- this is a business plan and I'm lucky I got the data access turned on at all. But eventually...

Ack for the recommendation of Nokia 6150. It has the same charger as 770, so there is one object less to carry around. But phone recommendations are very much operator and plan specific. It's very hard to give a "universally best" phone. But for general n770 friendly phone, look out for the following features(in decreasing order of imporatnce):
  • Supports the best speed your operator has
  • has bluetooth
  • how good it looks and feels in your hand
  • price
  • does it use same Nokia charger as 770
  • does it use rs-mmc cards like 770?

Nokia 6150 has all of those but rs-mmc. My operator supports HSPDA, but with very limited coverage, so it doesn't really matter it isn't supported by 6150.

I'm also using the N80. In Spain (Europe). It usually connects at a speed of three hundred something Kbps. At this very moment I've done a velocity test (I've installed a JavaVM) and it shows 322.10Kbps. That is 40KBytes/sec, or 2.4MB/min, or 141MB/hour. For me, it's super

I have it working with my new LG 8600 on Verizon. I did have to hack a file in the phone to allow it to teather, though. Pertty cool.

Can you tell me what settings you use or how you connect over the PAN with the BJ and the 770. I am using the 2007HE on the Nokia. i have the 19.99 unlimited data plan on my BJ.
