a920 as modem? Can someone help clear this up for me?

[ajblbv]

First question is can I somehow use an a920 and powervision to connect to my laptop, giving me a high speed connection on my laptop. How is it done, bluetooth?

If I sign up for PowerVision(EVDO) but it is not available in the area I am in, do I still get access to 1x networks under the same plan?

Sorry if something doesn't make sense, still working on understanding all this stuff, thanks for your help.

I will try to answer.

You can connect the a920 to your laptop through bluetooth or USB.

I think you will still get the 1x network if EVDO is not available.

You are supposed to have a $50/month Phone As Modem add-on plan to tether your phone to the laptop.

How do you enable being able to tether on the A920? I can't seem to get mine to successfully sign online. Please Let me know. thanx!

I also can not get it to work. the connection manager always says connect phone when it IS connected. does not work in DUN either. I can get the computer to see the phone but can not seem to get the SOFTWARE to recognize it as a valid phone.

Suggestions ? I would prefer not to mess with bluetooth (I know BT works as I use it with my PDA) but BT on a Computer is a royal pain in the ***** :-)

I just got a A920, and when I am trying to connect via USB, the phone says that pasword is incorrect. my previous phones (not PowerVision) never asked for a password. Do you know what is correct setting?

I dont even get that ! the software (DUN or Sprint Manager) do not see the phone at all as if its not even there.

yet windows see it and installs the drivers etc..
