Having a Mobile Hotspot wherever you go?

[sfsy90]

M1 provides a Mifi 2352 device which enables people to have a hotspot wherever they go via Mobile Broadband.

However, I would like to know if I could use a mobile phone(mobile broadband), as an access point(Wlan) which acts like the Mifi 2352 device.

Is that possible ? I only know that E51 phone could act as an access point. Is there any other phones ?

It will be an advantage as a mobile phone's battery last longer than a Mifi 2352 device(4hrs).

i have try it on my HTC Touch Pro ( need to installed 3rd party SW) but the battery also drain super fast the best way is to either use your notebook USB to power it without the battery in the MIFI or you can buy battery power external USB charger.

Besides Mifi 2352, I think using a mobile phone is the only choice.

So you mean all phones with WIFI can ? Just need to install a 3rd party application?

Novatel has announced the MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot, which is seemingly aimed at showing us just how beautiful connecting to the Internet can be. The MiFi creates your very own ecosystem of broadband connectivity wherever you are. We have waited for so long for a portable device that shares 3G broadband access with multiple users on the go.The MiFi allows users to choose from routing EV-DO Rev. A or HSPA over WiFi to whomever you wish. The internal battery claims to outlast most laptops on the market with up to four hours of use and 40 hours of standby on a single charge. Novatel used their expertise in human interface engineering to ensure MiFi is the easiest to use broadband device ever.

The MiFi product line will offer enterprises, SMB and SOHO users a unique solution to secure, control and manage wireless connections. MiFi configurations support auto VPN, automatic syncing of email and optional remote management capabilities for the enterprise IT manager. We are expected to see the MiFi mobile hotspot in several Novatel Wireless’ global tier-one operator customers and retail channels during the first half of 2009.
