I was finally able to use my Nokia 6630 as a modem with the Mac over bluetooth. With uMobile as mobile carrier, I was able to surf at somewhat very slow speed for a 3G connection. I have to keep in mind though that this connection was made over bluetooth. But either way, I should [...]

It’s kinda funny how I used to rant about Smart Bro Prepaid being redundant to having a 3G phone. But as I write this, I am actually using a Smart Bro Prepaid account. And worse, I am contemplating on getting one. You see, it wouldn’t be the case if not for these speed test results:
