I made a few posts this morning from my hotel room using my Samsung i730 as a Bluetooth connected modem. I am super jazzed at the speed and stability of the setup. I decided to head down for breakfast and take my laptop and phone with me so I could read some blogs and news. I never bothered to disconnect the phone or the BT connection. I clipped the phone to my belt, grabbed the laptop, took the elevator down 10 floors, setup in the restaurant and, much to my surprise, everything was still connected. I popped right onto the Internet with no prompts for reconnection or credentials at all. I thought it was a fluke.

Well I just did the same thing coming back up to my room after breakfast and it was no fluke. I popped right back on, read a couple of articles and decided to make this post.

Why is this so amazing to me? Because I remember my first 300 baud AppleCat Modem which, while being a super cool device (at the time and still today), would disconnect if you sneezed within 50 feet of it – and that was a hardwire connection. My trip up and down was completely wireless and it never dropped.

Sweetness….

 

Cheers!
