Mobile Internet Finally

So I hooked up my phone to my laptop and I can now connect portably to the internet wherever I go through my Nokia N95 without the need for a dongle or a third party accessory.

Right now I am travelling a reasonable 70km/h on my way to Clonmel for another day of lectures. This route will be more productive and less tiresome, now that I have a connection.

Nokia are even polite enough to ask what carrier I’m on, so they can retrieve the exact settings I need to connect. O2 Ireland can be seen below, along with Oman Mobile.

My last few phones I’ve attempted in doing this task, and it’s either been unavailable, or extremely difficult to get it to work. Nokia have finally gotten this right, and its been a long time waiting for many of us.

All I had to do is install the Ovi suite and connect my phone via cable and set the mode to “PC Suite”. I haven’t tried bluetooth tethering yet, but it should be the same process.

The speeds aren’t terrible either. They are faster that my secondary school’s download speed when I was there, so I guess I cannot complain!
