I just have to say that these directions worked perfectly. This post in fact comes from my laptop connected to my phone.

Thanks for the detailed and concise set of instructions (as well as downloads)!

Help Please1 I 've done everything except I do not see a windows directory on the Mogul so what do I do with these...

Wireless Modem.lnk
- Description: Shortcut to Wireless Modem application (Points to "\Windows\WModem.exe" /LAUNCH)
- Place in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder on your device

WModem.exe
- Description: The actual "Wireless Modem" application
- Place in \Windows folder on your device (v2.08 Mogul ROM already has this file).

WModem.exe.0409.mui
- Description: English language resources file needed by WModem.exe
- Place in \Windows folder on your device (was missing from v2.08 Mogul ROM).

I'd like to get the bluetooth connection working too but have not had any luck other than sending picture files from the Mogul to my computer. On my last phone I had a DUN connection on my laptop that would connect via bluetooth on the phone. I'm at a loss on how to get it to work on the Mogul. BTW that connection says it is using com 40. Kind of high but I don't see how to change it.

Never mind, I stumblen on to the solution......

My response:

I would like to thank you for your response.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my email. I do find it hard to believe that the manufacturer of the device doesn’t support the necessary drivers to connect the devices to computers. Motorola supplied the drivers for my Motorola Q, Dell supported the drivers for my Axim X51V, HP supplied the drivers for my iPaqs….. Seems a little suspicious to me as I have seen the Vista 32 bit drivers available for the Mogul. Either way, thank you for your time. I will do some more research prior to contacting Sprint as they are as helpful as a man with one leg in an *** kicking contest.

Have a good afternoon.

i used the GetSPC app but when i enter the code, it says that its the wrong code.

[Phreddo]

try the hex esn, and it's case sensitive. for me, that was all uppercase

Yea had no lock on the x64 with drivers, but on my laptop which runs xp 32 this worked perfectly! 115 kbps on first try, awesome!

Question, how much bandwidth can I use up on this before sprint might notice something finnicky and come looking to charge me more than the $15 I pay now? I'm sure general web browsing would be fine, but has anyone done anything like playing online games or some downloads without getting an inquiry? I'm assuming this is undetectable as to weather or not it's truly attached to a computer but I'd just like to know if anyone has any experience in this.

I posted a much easier and quicker method of doing this in the following thread:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ight=phixation

It goes like this: Install the update I have linked in the OP, start internet sharing on your phone, plug in the phone, when prompted for driver use the one I have linked. That's it.
