    iPhone as WiFi connection

    It sounds great! Too bad you have to Jailbreak your phone to do it. I'm just not willing to do that. But at the prices AT&T is charging, they should allow it.

    RE: How to Turn Your iPhone 3G Into a Wireless Modem

    This is great, but remember if you are using your iPhone or any other phone as a USB or Bluetooth modem that the battery life will fall through the floor. I use an old HTC TYTN as a Bluetooth modem when travelling around the UK (??1/day on OrangeWorld for 25MB of 3G mobile internet access)

    As another point, don't leave your phone in your pocket... I've noticed that my TYTN gets remarkably hot when using it as a modem, and the radio waves (however weak) simply can't be good for the "boys" wink
