WOW - Verizon SUCKS!!!
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. GOTTA LOVE SPRINT!!!!!!

how do you do it with spring. i have the MM-A900. i always knew you could do it with sprint phones but i never tried.

Peter...which menu are you taking about. how do you turn the phone to modem mode?
Raymond @ Oct 4th 2006 6:09PM
Just an FYI...
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.
