wouldn't need just wifi if you can get free/unlimited gprs through something like a vodafone mobile connect card? Can the Nokia cards switch to a wifi network if its available?

Streaming data over current GPRS performance!

I'd go for a 3G service unless they are inproving GPRS cos it is crap on my phone.

Well, I have already got a contract with 3 and I can access their 3G services easily through my phone, but my LG U8120 isnt supported by PhoneControl.net, and I can't find anything on about accessing the net from your pc through 3G?

Does anyone have any pointers I could try?

Is it on 3 ? If so forget it - they have a walled garden... if not have look at LGs site, should just be like setting a modem up.

I got one of these ( see attached pic ) and a PCMCIA adaptor. Although I got it for some thing else streaming was another thought I had. I could have got a 3G on but for £25 whos complaining.... ( I just bought some of these NEW for work at £205 each )

Hi Evo,

Do you have any updates on this one yet? I would love to know how easy/difficult it was to get everything installed and how touchscreen friendly the software is?

Thanks,

Blister

GPRS for radio?!?! £20/month to hear radio. Are you mad Terran :wack: Only jokin'

GPRS isn't fast enough for web surfing and radio streaming together.
