Daily news and opinion for 250,000 industry executives and mobile fanatics.
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.

Posted by Ewan on October 30th, 2007 at 6:24 pm.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.
