Any ideas?

hmm... how is your signal strength? That is a bit odd, have you tried this procedure on another computer?

Let me know anything else that happens!

Everything is installed on my motoQ - rasco and reg updates - unfortunutely when I dial ##342587, the phone actually attempts to phone that number. Any hints?

Did you do a power cycle after updating the registry?

I am only getting 1xRTT speeds with this solution. Is there a way to send EVDO speeds to my laptop either overbluetooth or by using USB??

Yeah I did the power cycle specified. Even removed the battery for 20 minutes. Does this only work on Verizon? Because I'm on Telus.

[Tim]

ahh... that might be the problem. I have a Verizon phone so I'm not able to confirm this issue with the Telus Motorola Q. Any other Telus users out there that can't use this hack?

Can someone confirm the download speeds they get using bluetooth DUN and the Q???
(and say whether you are in NYC or "another" area).
Thank you for your help!!

I talked to the VZ people today and they said that they don't/can't offer the $15 a month tether option for laptops even though I would be willing to pay for it (I want to use the Q honestly). Oh well, I guess its just the unlimited data plan until I get booted from VZ ...

Knowing Verizon, I'm sure they will "offer" a tethering plan soon... I mean, what carrier ISN'T in it for the money?
