Tethered Modem (6.0)
The Treo 700p can be used as a modem for your PC. In order to achieve this on the Sprint network, Sprint requires that you purchase a data plan that supports this feature, and that you use their software. There are of course work arounds for those who want to take the time to look for them. The 700p supports dial up both as a USB modem and as a Bluetooth modem. Set up is fairly straightforward using Sprint’s software, but can get complicated otherwise. Using a USB connection you can get standard EVDO speeds, but as a Bluetooth modem you will be limited by the Bluetooth connection speeds.
Being able to use your phone as a modem is a nice option, especially for business users. Unfortunately, like many phones setting this feature up requires you to jump through too many hoops in terms of service plans and software. We hope for the day when you can just plug your phone in and dial out without thinking about it.
