I even have to use dial-up connection to get Violette to use Wallace as a USB modem. See, that's how tethering in Symbian works. No USB router nonsense like that of Android. Although, Wallace is capable of speeds of up to 7.2Mbps at 3.5G, but my cellco throttles my speed to only 1.5Mbps if using 3.5G. But as it stands, the only signal available to me at the moment is a spotty 2G GSM signal.
I thought some Android Phones could be used for tethering without using a USB router.
Oh, here is my Christmas Gift report...
My Christmas Gift report:
-Atari Flashback 4 Console
-Sega Genesis Ultimate Portable Console with 40 games built in
-Angry Birds Calendar
-Angry Birds Collectible Figures
-Angry Birds Hoodie
-Angry Birds Shirt
-Angry Birds Stocking Cap
-3 Gift Cards for RadioShack, McDonalds, and Subway
So much Angry Birds, and I LOVE IT!!!
Also, the Sega Genesis Portable has a SD card slot for downloading additional games from AtGames when and if they become available. That's not all. You can also load your own Genesis .bin ROMs on there too. I don't download ROMs of licensed games, but I do go after the Chinese pirate homebrews. To test the SD card, I downloaded "Sonic Jam 6" and "Super Mario World". "Sonic Jam 6" is SNES SMB1 with Sonic instead of Mario, and with horrible controls. "Super Mario World" is a lazy hack of another Chinese homebrew called "Squirrel King", which from what I read, is actually quite decent. The SMW hack? Same gameplay as "Squirrel King", but Mario now throws crates and fireballs to destroy enemies and fights a huge Bowser who teleports at will. Only the first two worlds were hacked with SNES SMB1 graphics, and the remainder of the game is the same as "Squirrel King", so Mario ends up romping through random Jungles and cities defeating Monkey's and other non-Mario enemies.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
