HTC Touch Diamond as BT modem with a Mac ?
Nov 9 2008, 8:35 PM EST
I bought a Touch Diamond from e-mobile in Japan. It comes with a very attractive data plan. The phone works as modem like a breeze with a Windows PC but what about a Mac ? I tried but unsuccessfully to have it work with USB or Bluetooth on a macbook and an iMac. On some forums, I saw that people have managed to do it though. Does it depend on the carrier ?

I mean I have a data plan but using the device as modem has a cost? another question, the diamond ask me to choose between two connections, Emnet and emb or something like that, I always choose the first one, do you know the difference between those? |
