Okay, so its straightforward to tether the 6120c via Nokias PC suite in Windows, but I have still had no joy in Ubuntu or Leopard - any clues?

Speedtest.net results have been pretty lacklustre (on a par with CDMA, sometimes less), in full coverage, whether tethered by USB or Bluetooth.

Initial testing with Terminal Services and Citrix has been horrible - even with everything turned off / wound down. Worse than CDMA. Much worse.

Anybody else using TS/Citrix over XT? How are you finding it?

General web browsing etc has been acceptable, though not stunning.

I can't say whether there are any tricks for a Nokia. With my SE W705a, I used the standard options in Sys Prefs > Network > Bluetooth with no issue. Are you familiar with how to do that?


I'm also getting poor speed here in Whakatane; I don't think I've exceeded 1 Mb/s down or 350 kb/s up. The phone has HSUPA but I can't find any documentation about which classes it supports.
