Any suggestions?

(Thanks for all the help)
I've tethered to a Nokia 6555 and now an LG Vu. Both have DUN, but are Bluetooth 1.2. Purely subjective, it it seems like the link through the Vu is faster and drops out less while streaming audio with Vagalume.

So my question is what type of speeds do you get using 3g with the phone as a modem?

I want to track to see how much bandwith I use on a daily basis is there software that I can download to track this for me?

Thanks

3G speeds "feel" like DSL speeds, when you are relatively still. As you are moving, things may slow down due to being handed off from cell tower to cell tower.

Tethering "just happens", at least with the two 3G phones I've used. The wizard even sets up the AT&T DUN needed automatically.

<edit> Sorry for the double post. When I clicked the first time, I got a message saying I had to wait 8 more seconds before posting again. When I clicked again, there were two posts.
