Touchpad Wifi Connection Through Mobile Phone

Hello Everyone,

 

Can anyone help me find a way to use my mobile phone(s) as a wifi/bluetooth mobile connection to the internet. I have a work Blackberry 9630 with 3G Data on Verizon and a Palm Centro with Sprint everything data. Is there some way to use my phone(s) to enable me to access the internet for my touchpad? Since I have a Centro I am also looking to possiblyt upgrade to an android device if this might facilitate access for my Touchpad.

 

Thanks,


Sean

Re: Touchpad Wifi Connection Through Mobile Phone

You will have to check for availability of "Wifi Hotspot" apps for the phones you mentioned.  My TouchPad works easily with my Pre2 and Pre3 with this type of software.

 

I'd ask a salesperson to demonstrate this ability in the store before considering any purchase.  The TouchPad has problems with some phones that try and create an "Ad-Hoc" wifi connection.  Those that create an infrastructure type connect fine.
