which camera phones are able to connect as modem

[studboyx]

i currently have an lg 5350 and the connection manager/true usb cable internet connection for my laptop. i've been using this for nearly two years now and other than the periodic glitch, it seems to work very well for me and i've never had any problems with sprint telling me that i've gone over my allotted megabyte usage (and i download a lot). this is very nice as it's my only internet option where i live. i don't even own a landline.

the thing is, though it's worked very well for me thusfar, i'm not super happy with my phone. i find that the reception is not very strong and i think that i'd really like to get a camera phone at this point.

so my questions are:

1) which camera phones can i continue to use as a modem and have the best signal reception?
2) will i be able to use my 'old' data cable and/or software with different phones, or are they all unique?
2b) where can i get the new drivers i may require?

thanks in advance for any input.

1. all of them. The Nokias seem to be a bit harder though.
2. No on the data cable

I can't say about the others (well, I can) , but the VM4050 makes an excellent modem, and an excellent phone.

I use the 5500. For me it work pretty good. I had the 4050 and it does not compare to the 5500. It's pretty quick for dail up.Thats on a desk top PC and in my car for my laptop.all phones can be used if you have the cable and drivers for it.... JUST MY $0.02
