Modems are far better than phone. And maybe even faster.

@All,
With that stupid download limit attched to it, its of no use.
Even if its #500, its still not worth it. The best for internet Nigeria for now is CDMA.

Maybe other networks will also bring down the price of their modems too. Can someone confirm if its locked or not.

We have tested out both phones and USb modems and found very little difference in terms of delivery. Getting 200-300KBps non-stop on a USB modem is no big deal. We've consistently seen speeds of 400KBps - 1.2 MBps using Nokia phones as modems.

If you have a phone with built-in modem, you really are not missing anything significant if you don't bother with modems.

The speed you are talking about here is in what unit? Kilobit/sec or kilobyte/sec?

You are absolutely right!! You said my mind.

There is nothing so special about the modem. Nokia phones have good in- built modems. Your modem is only useful if you are in a 3G coverage area.

Wrong. . .d fact that its called a 3G modem doesnt mean its strictly 3G . . . It got both Edge and Gprs capabilities.. . . . So if there's no 3G it wuld automatically switch or u culd do it manually via d pc interface. . . .the speeds prof was refering to are Kilo[b]Bytes[/b]/s

@all
Well guys. I think I am more comfortable using my nokia E71 phone as modem to browse. I have tried a 3G modem too before but can't see much difference. Another advantage of the phone is that I can browse anywhere, anytime as long as I have enough juice in my battery but I can't do that with a modem which must be hooked to the bom-bom of a pc or lappy. And finally it is not tied to any single network. The only snag is that the battery must be recharge always.

CISCO, You are gonna send your e71 to its early grave, I speak from experience.

Re: MTN Data Modem Now N8,500 by ciscostaz: 10:45pm On Nov 29, 2009
@man4war
You scared me! What are the likely dangers. Using the phone as a modem is one of the functionalities of the phone. Do you mean in terms of the battery or what? Please educate me more.

CISCO, You are gonna send your e71 to its early grave, I speak from experience.

my n95 is over a year old, has streamed a total of about 670gig and is still alive and kicking. your modem activity on ur phone didnt kill it, something else did.

If using multiple functions kill phones, mine should be dead now cuz as we speak i am using it as a webcam via mobiola, as a wireless hotspot via joikuspot and its connected to my home theatre via usb and ofcourse its charging.
