Lots of Geekery Tonight
I got my new t-mobile phone and service yesterday, and have put it through its paces a bit today.
I've been playing with bluetooth on my tired old laptop, and managed to connect using the phone's blueooth to the t-mobile data network.
I couldn't figure out how to connect using THEIR internet connection software, but I did manage to get Win XP, the Bluetooth software, and Sony Ericsson's software all to create me a nice connection to the data network. Speeds tended to vary from 28.8 to 38k or so, with some latency issues (to be expected). Still, it's a pretty cool feature. Sprint's network was faster and didn't have the same latency issues, but it also never worked worth a crap and their phones are junk.
Anyway, that's the general geekery tonight. Not sure ultimately if the internet service will be worth having, but I'm enjoying the Sony Ericsson T-610 a LOT. And considering I was only out $25 cash for it (not including any rebates, which will actually make me money on switching from sprint), it's a big improvement over the old LG 5250 I had with Sprint.
