SmartPhone 3G Question
    #7530347 - 10/18/07 07:45 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

So I have been looking at these smartphones lately and I think they are really cool. I would like it if they had data plans for prepaid but they don't. So it seems you pretty much either need to get a contract plan or only use the Internet when your near a WiFi hotspot, kinda lame ultimatum.

Then I saw this phone, I think it was the JasJam I-mate. It said it had a "Wireless modem" or "3G". After a little searching I learned that this function seems to be most commonly used for hooking you phone up to your PC and basically using it just like a 56k modem.

Does the "Wireless modem" or "3G" mean that after dialing a access number and connecting to the Internet you could surf the web right on your pocket PC or is this option simply for hooking it up to your computer to use as a modem?

Hope that makes sense.

Heres a few links:

Oh... and heres something else unrelated I have been looking at. Its a Iphone clone.
