Alas I can’t use my USB Modem

By on October 30, 2007 in News

I’m in one of those pockets of zero-to-patcy 3UK coverage so I’ve been sat in this office working away via Bluetooth to my 3.5g-conneced Nokia N95. Obviously you’d get about, what, an hour, maximum, from the N95′s battery working as a modem — so I thoughtfully brought my charger. Both laptop and handset have been plugged in and activated for about 6 hours and the service via T-Mobile has been impeccable — fast. Very, very fast.

All is not lost with T-Mobile…

    Finally took the plunge and got my 3UK modem. *I* haven’t had chance to try it properly yet, but the wife decided it was perfect for feeding her current addiction for genealogy and spent the entirety of an hour-long car journey on Ancestry.com – and then an hour on the way back. It would be safe to say she’s sold on HSDPA.
