Using w350i as a modem

scruttocks

Hey,

Is there any way for me to use my SE w350i as a modem with my macbook through the USB cable? Obviously it's not a first choice for internet access, as the phone is only equipped with EDGE, but I have a data allowance so I might as well use it while I'm between access points.

Thanks in advance

as it's only edge: wanna know how to install opera mini on your lappy and use it fullscreen with keyboard and all, yet only use the data it's use on a phone, and just as fast?

Nice links strecker, especially the 2nd one!
Unfortunately I dont think the Sony Ericsson PC Suite works on a MAC, so the OP will need a different solution

Aha. After a bit of googling, I found this
Looks like that will sort you out

sh..ugar, didn't spot the macbook-bit
(though, imho the SE pc suite doesn't work on much anyway :P )
isn't there something like ulteo or wine for macs? A virtual drive to run windows stuff? - sorry, wrong thread
