Get a phone with BT. That's the best way to do it. I was playing
around with it on my 3650 and it's great via BT. But for best
performance you should get a pc card. Someone over on HoFo was saying
they were getting higher speeds using a Nokia D311 card which has 8+2,
versus a phone that has like 4+2. He wasn't quite getting double but
it was significantly higher speeds.
BTW if you have a voice line you can add the unlimited plan for $19.99
on that line.

This sounds like it might be a really great deal. Do you also get access to
T-Mobile WiFi hotspots witht his deal?

Speeds are said to be like dial up but I've never used it.
Hotspot access is a separate option....19.99 for TM customers for
national unlimited hotspot data.

No the data plan has to be activated on the same line as a phone plan,
other wise it's 29.99. Yes the speeds are around dialup speed, with
T-mobile accelerator it speeds up (approximating ISDN 128k) normal
browsing a bit, but on a standard dl best speed I got was 3.2KB/sec
(~33.6 speed) while downloading the same file on cable I get around
150KB/sec

hooked to my laptop I get 103k throughput. That's about twice the speed of
56k dialup. I would love a GSM solution but am not willing to give up that
much bandwidth.

That is with a GPRS phone the 3650... you'll get better performance
from a GPRS PC Card

First, for a T-mobile customer to use a gprs phone as a modem for a
laptop you have to use the T-Mobile app called the "T-Mobile Internet
Manager." This app recognizes your phone as a modem and operates it
from the PC.
Second, the Nokia 3650 is not supported yet in the app. (This came to
me from T-mobile support)
so the 3650 owners are sol on the wireless modem thing for now. :(
My question is, does the 3650 support PPTP for standalone email pop
operation? I'm thinking it doesn't, but maybe some company has written
a pptp client.
How about a (Checkpoint) VPN client? Any vpn client? I just want to
pop mail off the exchange server at work.
Thanks,
Dan

Ok first you do NOT need the Internet manager to use your phone to
connect to the internet using your phone, regardless of your phone.
The internet manager just does all the work and config for you!

This is true but you don't need it anyway so it's no loss...
>so the 3650 owners are sol on the wireless modem thing for now. :(
No you are not!
Do the following...
Install your 3650 as a new modem either BT/IR in the advanced tab put
the following
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet2.voicestream.com"
Start a new dialup connection for your new modem, no username/password
required the phone number to use is *99***1#
>My question is, does the 3650 support PPTP for standalone email pop

The 3650 doesn't internally but you could use your 3650 a modem for
your pc that does. Of course if a 3rd party app were developed for the
Series 60 the 3650 certainly could be made to use PPTP.

You can set this up on the T-mobile site and access your exchange
server via the t-mobile wap site on the 3650 or any other wap enabled
phone as long as you have T-zones pro or higher. Otherwise when you
activate your account you'll need to ask for VPN support.

you don't really need this app. Pretty much every reasonably modern
phone does PPP. You dial *99# or some variation. There are special AT
commands to set the APN and other GPRS parameters. The details depend
on your phone.
AT+CGDCONT=,,"internet3.voicestream.com"
might work for you as an init string.

$19.95 per month unlimited data, and one already has the voice minutes.
So, are they even doing away with the 2.99 1 MB plan? That one works for me.
Using the phone for T-zones, I never go over the 1 MB, usually not even
close. When I connect my laptop to the phone to connect to the Internet
wirelessly, that goes through CSD rather than GPRS, and comes from voice
minutes, not data. As I have 1000 anytime minutes, and unlimited weekend
minutes, that's also not a problem.

Yes, but----if you use the phone as a modem for the laptop, and do not use
that app, you connect via CSD, and it just comes from your voice minutes.
Bitablespore
have 2 accounts/profiles setup on the phone...(one for just WAP and the
other for internet access using internet2.voicestream.com, or internet3).
You dial the following GSM standard GPRS access code *99***X# where x= the
correct GPRS profile to use, usually 1 or 2. Your phone will connect to the
GPRS network and you will be using T-mobile as your ISP.

different than GPRS. I didn't say they were the same.
But when I connect my laptop to the Internet via my T-Mobile Motorola v60
phone, I do not use the "T-Mobile Internet Manager", I dial up the number of
my regular ISP (although I believe TM has a couple dial-up numbers as well,
at least they used to), using the phone as a modem, and it doesn't get
billed as data by the MB, but just comes from my minutes (which are
unlimited on weekends). That is CSD, as GPRS is billed by MB of data.
Yes, the GPRS is supposed to be faster, but it doesn't sound like it's so
much faster. I'm quite satisfied with the $2.99 per month data plan, which
lets me use the phone to read e-mail, I sometimes use the Search Tools like
Yellow Pages, etc., and never go over the 1 MB limit. When I use my laptop
connected to the phone, it connects via CSD, does not count against that MB
of data, and just comes from minutes, of which I have a lot. (1000 anytime,
unlimited weekends).
For new users, however, I don't know if they are offering the $2.99 plan any
more.

I do use my GPRS connection, and not CSD. I am tracked by the MB, and not
voice minutes.

Yes, when I connect directly with the phone, it is usually GPRS. (Unless it
has trouble contacting vis GPRS, then contacts via CSD as an alternative.)
But I was speaking about connecting my laptop to the Internet, just using
the phone as a modem. Is this what you did, and were billed by the MB for
bytes used? That would be surprising to me, as I'm not billed that way?
What phone number did you dial-up with? Try dialing your regular ISP, not a
number from SPCS.
Bitablespore
GPRS profile 1 that I have configured on my phone. This uses Tmobile as
your ISP.
