Mr. Wizard,
A while back I tried w/ no success to get our Verizon LG VX3300 phone to work as a modem tethered to our Gateway laptop. We are under no contract now, and could get a new Verizon phone that would work be easier and more powerful to use as a modem and we would now be expecting to use the $60/mo data option while on trips.
I was wondering what you might recommend for a Verizon phone. We like things simple, but a phone with good reliability and strong reception, easy to setup w/ Gateway, and good battery life would be important.
Our Gateway has 512 MB memory, runs Windows XP Home Edition, has USB 2.0 ports and a PCMCIA slot for one Type II PC Card.
