It was definitely ad hoc mode. I had to go into the Mogul's settings and create an ad hoc connection before doing the registry hacks. Then I had to turn wifi radio on in the Mogul, then search for the AP in the N800 and connect as normal.

I would have used Bluetooth, but the DUN profiles are stripped out of the Mogul by Sprint, so Wifi was the easiest choice.

With the Sprint SERO plan, I basically have a portable 500-800 kbps (constant bit rate per DSLReports.com speed test) router with me at all times for only $30/month (comes with unlimited text and 500 mins as well). Once the EVDO Rev A upgrades are complete it should be over 1 mbps. Can't beat that unless you stay home all day.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Not sure why the OP had a go at you on that though. Clearly, someone has no idea what 3G is or how it works.

To the OP: In theory, using USB OTG mode on the iT, you could hook up an external radio device such as a WiMax receiver or an EVDO modem (if one exists) via USB, but you'd still need drivers to make it work

lols i know

Can someone please inform me as to what 3G-capable handset on the market doesn't have Bluetooth? I'm not trying to be daft, but I seriously can't think of a 3G handset that doesn't have Bluetooth.

Fact is, MOST of them have. I cannot recall any 3G-enabled handset that doesn't have BT, and seeing that I'm not totally familiar with handset models in the USA, I didn't want to come to any conclusions about whether the phones you guys have there even come with BT.

In EMEA and Asia, most 3G phones come equipped with BT as well.

or if you cannot get your USB 3G (either HSDPA or EVDO) modem to work with your N8x0 then consider a Cradlepoint PHS300 ( http://www.cradlepoint.com/ ) with a USB EVDO modem.

There is another thread in the Newbies section about this or at least it was steered that way...

Actually I no longer need a cell at all. Well, I keep a throw-away with an unactivated prepaid card around just in case everything else takes a dump. Otherwise I use Skype everywhere thanks to the Mobile Broadband data plan (in my case EVDO) I have with Millenicom (http://www.millenicom.com). One of my desires of from the N8x0, if I decide that is the device, is to use that service and the CDU680 EVDO USB modem I have. If I cannot get it to work with the tablet directly then I might consider using that Cradlepoint router. Google a bit and it will make sense. The router supports EVDO USB modems and acts as a Wifi Hotspot. So you can connect to the router using the tablet's wifi and viola instant 3G MBB connection to the web no overpriced and redundant cell phone needed. Plus with the router option I can be using one device and my better half can be using another and we can share the connection while we sit and have coffee somewhere or even are sitting under a tree in the park. See that router also has a Li-ION battery. Kinda cool...

I am not sure there are pocket/travel routers for HSDPA but I would imagine there must be some by now. And for the near future forget WiMax unless you live in a beta test area. And how useful is that for a "mobile" service? 3-years and we'll see something faster like WiMax...

The whole country (almost) is my hotspot via my Treo 700p:
