This morning I headed over to the new and improved Mobile Tech Manor to get some stuff carried over before the "real" move. I carried my gear bag stuffed with the Lenovo IdeaPad u110 as I figured when I took a rest I could get online using the goodness of the Verizon EVDO network. I got my errands done, put some java on to brew and sat down at my new desk in the new office. I just cracked myself up because that desk is a folding card table and my desk chair is a nylon folding lawn chair. Hey it works.
I turned on the Lenovo and reached into my bag for the ExpressCard modem only to discover that in my haste to get out of the house I didn’t throw it in the bag! I was just getting ready to pack up and head back home when it hit me- I can use the HSDPA 3G on the HTC Advantage which was indeed in the bag. Say what you want, the Internet Sharing utility in Windows Mobile 6 is outstanding in its ease to use. I connected to the AT&T 3G network and on the IdeaPad I told it to connect to a Personal Area Network over Bluetooth and in a few seconds I was online and working away. Sure it’s not as fast as the EVDO network but it works and works well.
