You do know that this is all BUILT-IN to the Sprint version of the phone and requires nothing else than putting the phone into Modem mode from the menu. If you plug it in via USB, Windows sees it as a modem and it just works. From there you can also disconnect the cable and just use it as a BT modem if you want.

FAR TOO COMPLICATED ON VERIZON.

If you're going to sign up with Sprint, make sure you get the SERO (sprint.com/sero) plan. Basically, you'll get unlimited web access in addition to free roaming, mobile-to-mobile, nights & weekends, etc...Plan starts at $30 (or less, read Slickdeals thread on how-to) with 500 anytime minutes.

For more info, there's a big thread about this over at Slickdeals.net (since Dec 05). No U.S. carrier can beat this plan.]]>Oct 4th 2006 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/Dec 9th 2006 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/May 3rd 2007 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/Oct 3rd 2006 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/Oct 3rd 2006 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/

Like the Sprint User mentioned, you can do the same thing using June Fabric's (wierd name) PDANet tethering program. You might have to buy the program for a few dollars it allows you to tether without having to pay VZW a single penny. Its great and I've been using it now for about 6 months. ]]>Oct 5th 2006 5:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/http://www.arcane.org/?p=1541]]>Oct 5th 2006 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/

Nice blog. However, I just got off the phone with Verizon and they assure me they do not offer this 'feature' with this phone. They went on to deny that they supply the driver or the modem program, even though I got it off their CD.

So if I get this working does this mean I'm using my unlimited data connection or my phone minutes? And if my data connection and I tried to pay for it, am I stealing?

:)]]>Oct 13th 2006 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/how-to-use-your-ev-do-pocket-pc-phone-for-internet-access/ CDMA USB Modem Dialer.exe
and
CDMA USB Modem.inf
files on your PC and following the instructions in the related .DOC

I think VZW, either willfully or by simple disorganization, does not have its act together in this matter. I've been told in no uncertain terms that the XV6700, like the Treo 700w, is not supported for use as a modem. I've also heard from 2 Level 3 techs, one gave me his name, saying that this activity is not SUPPORTED but it is PERMITTED. It's all a matter of whether you add a 3rd party application (which is considered skirting the Terms of Service) or whether you use what comes with the product.

In other words, you can't expect to ask VZW for help with this procedure on the 6700 but you won't get "in trouble" (whatever they might do to you is not clear to me) for doing this as you WOULD if you used PDAnet on your Treo 700w.

The 2nd tech told me I don't even need to pay the $15 addition to the $45/mo data fee ("PDA/Smartphone Unlimited $44.99"). FWIW, when arguing with them about why they won't allow a 700w to "tether", I offered to pay them the extra $15 a month but they pointed out that they had no way to bill me for it.

IMPORTANT: I haven't read the ToS myself. This is all as per two techs and no customer support people. I might be "in trouble". I might be told by the Data Police that the Level 3 techs were wrong and I must shut down my "tethering". So, do your own due diligence but use what info I offer here as a starting point.

It sure is silly for VZW to not take the $15 most of us are willing to hand them so that, when added to the PDA Data plan, they get the same $60/mo they'd get if we bought a cardbus EVDO card plan instead. It's almost-free money for them but the 700w, for some reason isn't supported and the info on the 6700 is totally confused even among their own people.

Different topic: I agree in essence with those who say "Why use BT to "tether" when it's slower than most EVDO connections you'll get (I was getting 500 x 125 in ABQ this weekend in the car), But sometimes an easy, quick, connection at a couple-hundred-k is all you need for a simple email check or to look up an address. Beats dragging out the USB cable.

IMHO,

Phil]]>Oct 24th 2006 2:39AM
