The only one that is really worth considering for on-phone browsing from speakout is the Jamma 5130.... If all else fails, this phone supports the bluetooth DUN profile, so you can share the internet from your phone to your laptop and browse on that. If you want to use the unlimited browsing on a phone though, you are best off bringing your own unlocked phone.
I have tethered my 4 year old mpx220 to my Nokia n800 (which is not a phone) and will generally never touch my old phone - it just sits in my pocket.
I can browse on the n800's 800x480 touchscreen

I have an IPOD touch that might be useful for that. I will have to see if I could use the phone to get on the internet with the IPOD. Any ideas on that?

As far as I can understand, the iPod touch does not have this functionality via bluetooth. Bluetooth on the iPod touch was unlocked in the 3.0 firmware upgrade. However, given the iPod's inability to multitask i doubt that this would be possible. I'm not sure because I don't actually have an iPod, but I wouldn't think that apple would make it that easy to basically turn the ipod into an iphone just by tethering it to a cheap phone.
If you have a windows mobile phone with wifi, as with a number of the HTC and Samsung phones, then you could maybe use a program like this http://www.wmwifirouter.com/ to share it to all your other wifi devices (including your ipod).

It has worked every day since I enabled it. Yes 3g off, assume you are using same setting as all others.
See my blog post about it if you want the settings.
Good luck.

No luck w/data on unlocked iPhone 3G w/Glen's settings. I have the Edge or GPRS symbol come up but web page always comes up "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure". I also tried various combinations of other settings listed. Any ideas? Thanks.

I also have an unlocked iphone and it is failing with pdp authentication failure when I try to connect to the speakout data network. Voice working fine. It does display the E but I am not getting an IP on the data network. (As viewed from SBsettings.) I've used several variations of the settings posted. It does work in a nokia 2760. I've tried reseting the network settings on the iphone. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

With the 2760 are you able to web surf or is it too slow? I would like to be able to check email and surf a little if possible.
Thank you.

Is this the same as teathering? Isn't that disabled from most data plans somehow? This would be great if I could do that on the $10 plan.
Also reading the Nokia Canada site... the 2760 also support the DUN profile.

Has anybody tried Skype with this service?
Don't even bother to try skype. WAP does not have enough bandwith to support skype.
WAP only have around 10k/s while skype need around 20~30kb/s
