I need to take my laptop away for the day with me tomorrow and for those times when there is no wifi available I thought I might use my mobile.

Is this easy to set up?

Do you have Nokia PC suite installed on there ???

Yeah but I hate it!! I think I may have to reinstall and check I did everything right. I just use straight forward data transfer for my mobile pics

Does it have a modem feature then?

pcsuite is very easy to use and does this for you.

Does it have a modem feature then?

Aye it sure does its the top right icon you may need to play with the settings iirc

Just watch the costs of using your mobile as a modem.

If you have an "unlimited data plan" from your provider this will only be data used by WAP and not as a modem and so could be quite expensive.

You can set it up manually without PC suite, but it's a bit more of a faff.

Make sure you have the latest version of PC Suite, available from the Nokia website direct. I'm finding it's much better than previous versions and use it quite a lot now (phone backups and writing text messages from the PC particularly).

It is of course worth checking what the details for data traffic are on your phone contract though!

I use my normal n95 as a modem through pc suite.

Check with your phone provider that they will allow the phone as a modem. I have a T-Mobile web'n'walk plus package and it includes a reasonable amount of data per month. I used it the other week on the train with no problems.
