Work is busting our balls over getting the access cards because they're *too expensive*. Kind of makes the iphone a pita since we can't tether it. Back to the drawing board. Ya… that’s the problem. Work is busting our balls over getting the access cards because they’re *too expensive*. Kind of makes the iphone a pita since we can’t tether it.

Back to the drawing board.

But what you CAN do, and what I do, is use it with a verizon/at+t/sprint usb data modem, and then connect to the wifi on your (2G) iPhone! That way your iPhone gets to be speedy even if you're on T-Mobile.. plus your laptop can share that same speediness at the same time. The one I got is the PHS300, which is the only one with a battery, and it's about the size of a deck of cards. Hey Tim,

I thought being an ass in the blog comments was an advertised <strong>feature</strong> of Dreamhost. As far as I'm concerned it could even be one of the extra pay for options... I'd get that before even call backs. VOO I guess that’s what happens when Dreamhost boots you for being an ass and the new host won’t let you be an ass on their sites.

You're confirming you've got this working with an iPhone on AT&T? I just want to make sure since that's the route I'm going, and I don't want to buy this and have it be a nice paperweight. I'm also trying to figure out the difference between their various models... their site is less than helpful. The only big difference I see is some have multiple uplinks, and expresscard slots which could be useful. It'd also be nice if maybe they had a frigging dollar bill next to each of them to get an idea of the size of them. Not so concerned with price, but I travel a LOT and don't want some bulky piece of crap. So, according to their website, the iphone isn’t supported.
