How To Get A UMTS Pocket PC Phone?
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 09:00 PM
"Today, when I've tested some parts of my current 3G project, I thought about how convenient and handy it would be to use my PPCW.Net i-Mate Phone Edition with the speed of the current pre-launch 3G/UMTS networks and hey, why not back to the roots and using WAN via my mobile phone? So I've installed Bluetooth Tools because it adds a Bluetooth modem port to the Phone Edition, bonded my i-Mate Phone Edition with my Nokia 7600 UMTS terminal and created a new dial-up connection."
OK, using a Pocket PC Phone backwards like that is just wrong. :lol: Nevertheless, it achieves the desired result -- Arne gets about 100kbps sustained. What's interesting, though, is that CDMA 1xRTT, which has a theoretical max of 144kbps, achieves much closer to its theoretical maximum -- I've gotten 90kbps frequently, and occasionally topped 100kbps on my i700. It'll be interesting to see who wins the "speed" battle as UMTS and 1xEV-DO/DV mature, and it'll be even cooler when Pocket PC Phones come out for each standard.
