Hi to all N97 user here. wanna ask. does anyone of you have use the N97 phone as a modem and tethering? how the speed? thanks.

er.. can someone reply to me?

its ok. just bought N97 and using it right now for tethering. to bad the speed just like my previous E71. using celcom thou. Before this using blackberry storm and bold, the tethering speed seem quite fast. i was able to download at rate 200++ kbps. but when using nokia either E71 or N97 i only able to archive 50-70+- kbps. using same plan, same telco, same location, only different phone.

Nvm then. Btw N97 is great man. add me to the list. black edition.

hmm.. dont know about that, coz i just subscribe celcom weekly broadband. before this use bb same plan, but quite fast.

btw, i just notice that N97 didn't have virtual keyboard like X6. that really suck man. coz i used to type msg on qwerty keyboard almost a year with my previous E71, bb storm and Bold. Not used to type msg in normal layout keyboard anymore.

if everytime i msg and slide the keyboard, does the sliding mechanism will be loose? now still tight. afraid if i always slide the keyboard than it become loose and got ribbon problem.

hmm.. hope can last for 2 years.

btw, does anyone have a tip how to make contact picture seem sharp and nicer? wanna do it like N97 advertisement. lol..
