And it's kicking EVDO's ass...

I just switched from using EVDO (hacked Motorola E815 phone with Verizon Wireless - link ) to using HSDPA (LG CU 500 phone with Cingular - link ) and it's fantastic, especially with my OQO

With HSDPA I'm reliably getting 500+ kbps down and 150+ kbps speeds via Bluetooth or USB (in San Francisco) - vs. about 400 kbps down and 75 kbps up with EVDO. Some people are even reporting 700+ kbps speeds - link

UPDATE: I replaced my LG CU 500 with a Samsung i607 (BlackJack) Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone and HSDPA performance is even better now.

"kensington bluetooth dongle dial up software"

Kensington could be your problem, these have been notoriously bad. As for me, I had instant success with com. manager and gave up on the other method. Since then I have returned both of my LG 500s and got myself and HTC TyTN with HDSPA and a Cingular 8125 with EDGE for my wife.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
 

re: CU500 connection
I finally gave up on connecting via bluetooth and was going to wait on the cable...I opened Motorola's Phone tools (I had for my Razr) to use another application and just for the heck of it clicked on internet.....I picked a motorola phone at random from the list and let the software discover my CU500...It connected to cingular on the first try! So I guess until LG gets up to speed with software at least i'm connected. THe text messaging features in the Motorola software work for the LG as well, but so far not the sync..
 

re: egdge speed

with my CU500 on the "edge" of Cingular's edge network...they say it shouldn't work where i live...the slowest i've seen so far is 175kbps...215 max...
 

I just got my lg + data max200, i am able to conect, but the conection is not stable. it seem like bursting some data but not continously. can someone help me
 

Can I use this plan along with the sim card on a wlan laptop or through an external card or do I need the internet plan and the software to do so?


Thanks in advance,
soda
