I Want My BlackBerry To Do What The Verizon MiFi 2200 Does

by Robb Dunewood on May 4, 2009 · 5 comments

Verizon MiFi 2200After reading about the the upcoming Verizon MiFi 2200, a personal WiFi Hotspot that will run on Verizon’s EVDO data network, I opened up my laptop bag and pulled out all the things in it that use WiFi.  We’ve got, of course, my laptop, but, also my digital camera, a sony PSP, an iPod Touch , and a GameBoy.

I have a broadband connect card for my laptop ,but, I’ve wished for a long time that I could use it to get my other devices online.  Since I can tether my BlackBerry to my laptop pretty easily, I may just pick up the MiFi 2200 up when it comes out, especially if it costs under $100 like the rumors are suggesting.

I just wish I could actually use my BlackBerry to do what the the Verizon MiFi 2200 does…  I will, however, leave that for another post.

You might want to take a look at the Cradlepoint PHS300. It works like a charm.

I’m tired of hearing about cradlepoint when someone asks about the existence of a blackberry wifi hotspot app. This is NOT what we are looking for, stop trolling with adverts for cradlepoint. The people posting these questions ARE NOT LOOKING FOR THAT solution.
