Bluetooth can only travel at about 115000 BPS, Bits Per Second. You should in theory get 384000 BPS with 3G if you are in a good coverage area. Also, Bluetooth will only let you connect one device. If you buy WHS, any wireless client can connect to it, Pacmate, Braillenote, you name it. I would go for the WHS or Joiku solution personally, over Bluetooth. Although both solutions drain the battery on the phone, grab a spare battery and you are good to go.

Yes I was addressing the issue of what to do if your phone carrier did not work. I myself am thinking about one of these products. all I want to do is find the best way of connecting my laptop to the phone. I suppose I could use a usb cable and use the nokia driver but I want a wires free way really. If I use bluetooth, is the bluetooth serial connection the fastest way I have? If not, is Joycu or walking Hotspot the way to go?

So WHS or Joiku would not do this. They are designed purely to turn your phone into a wireless router.

I was under the impression that Walking Hotspot or Joycu Spot did this but I was obviously wrong. Any other suggestions? Carla.

They don't get you a better signal with your phone, they merely allow you to use your phone as a wireless router, to connect other devices. Not your phone, I stress, but other devices. So if you don't have a laptop, what are you going to connect? If nothing, then there is no point to you having either product.

I don't have a laptop but I want to have connection to the internet when I'm unable to get a signal from GPS. What one is better to go for when I'm only using a mobile? Carla.
