Hi Kevin –
My machines are off the shelf
models. The cell phone connects through a USB port. Any laptop or
tower will work fine.
If you are planning on using the cell
phone to receive real time quotes, be aware of two issues: the cell phone
will be using up minutes while connected; and data transfer rates depend on the
traffic through the tower you are using. If you have a 400 minute per
month package with free evenings and weekends, that gives about 20 minutes per
trading day before going outside the 400 minutes. When other users
increase their traffic through the tower you are using, data you are receiving
will slow down. I would not depend on a cell phone for real time
data. But it works fine for end of day data.

Laptop and Wireless
Did you build your machine?
If possible, I'd like to buy a turnkey system?
I'm interested in using it for Intraday trading, which I do
now, but not very gracefully.
I did join the other Yahoo group. Looks interesting.

<span
>There is a Yahoo Group
– InternetByCellPhone – that discusses many of the alternative
methods of using a cell phone to connect a laptop to the internet. The
consensus is that Verizon service using Mobile Office cable and software is the
leader. I have exactly that setup and find that download speed can reach
about 1 MB of file per minute of wall clock time. Upload speeds are
lower, and transfer rates in both directions depend on other traffic through
the cell phone tower. All of this depends on being in an area that has
Verizon Digital cell phone service, which is pretty good in urban areas.
Neither T-Mobile nor ATT Wireless has many supporters for use with
laptops. Visit or join InternetByCellPhone for all the details.
