Mobile Broadband *Updated Question* 3/1

What's up gang....I know I've been missing in action but things have been quite on this end. So here's my question to you experts....Is anyone using their smartphone or Blackberry as a modem? If so, how are the upload and download speeds? I don't need a lot of usage, but I'm giving some thought to trying the verizon network out. I don't want to contract a USB modem or aircard........Phil

Hi Phil,

What kind of device are you using? I have been quite impressed with the wireless tethering capabilities of my Hero. I don't have speed numbers but it's been good when I need it.

Check this post for some details. I don't know if it's the best set of instructions out there but should get you started. Here is another source.

Sprint has blocked it, too. I used to be able to tether easily, on my "unlimited data" Blackberry. This past Sept Sprint decided they didn't want to have the same problems plaguing ATT with their iPhone (so much data traffic it is destroying their whole network).
