Hi!

I have a Macbook Air and a Nokia E51 phone.
Until now I managed to use the phone with my windows based notebooks (Vaio Sz680, Vaio Sz4, IBM X61s) on Bluetooth connection. I managed to reach the 1200/350kbps spped on HSDPA networks.

Until now....
With the Macbook Air I managed to reach the 1200/20kbps. Download speed is limited because the Bluetooth connection. But the upload is so slow....
I used different modem sctipts, none of them was better than others.
With USB connection the E51 can reach 1200/350kbps on the MBA too.
Went to the service provider and tested the connection with other E51 on BT but they had the same slow upload rate.

I want to ask if somebody use MBA with Hsdpa phone?
Which type of phone do you use and do you have better upload speed than I have?

Thanks in advance!

I have a nokia e50, and had a macbook pro, but here in Venezuela we only have paltry edge with paltry speeds, I used to connect them together and got similar results in windows and osx. If you can hold out until april 18th, I will be in europe and will be getting a nokia e51 with a macbook or macbook air. I will test to see if I have similar results as you, but you kinda have to wait a bit...lol. Sorry I can't help you out faster.
