| Rural Sprint I live in WV and the Sprint coverage is great, along major interstates and towns. I use voice+data (PPC-6700 PDA phone, AND old sanyo phone always tethered to laptop) We dont have EVDO here, but always 4-5 bars of 1x service. Every speed test I've ever done with 2 or more bars I get 140k up/down. Ping is a lil slow, but it does what I need when I need it. I have a Cingular Treo, and voice service totally sucks on it, and data through it is never more than 80-90k with 400+ ms pings. Hands Down sprint beats cingular. I've never made a call to a cingular customer that worked completely. Either thier phone never rings, or they dont have service (including friends that live in Larger cities (San Fran., Buffalo). |

San Francisco, CA | I have the same sprint PPC phone and can't seem to get it to to work to provide internet connectivity using the usb cradle for my laptop. It's amazing on it's own for checking email - anywhere in the country it seems like since I travel for work. I may have had trouble in the south one time.
The download page at sprint has too many downloads, most of which don't really seem to be for that phone - merlin card, etc.

any help appreciated... |

| The necessary files are on the CD that came with the phone. There is a folder called "OEM" on there that has 3 files in it. A driver for the phone, the dialer program, and a word file with instructions. I cant remember if the instructions say so or not, but you have to start the "Wireless Modem" program on the phone BEFORE you plug in into the laptop for it to be used as a modem. Start->Programs->Wireless modem (on the phone) If you need anymore assistance, PM me. |
