Just seeing if there is a way to tether the Samsung Memoir to my laptop. T-Mobile won't help me.|||Memoir can't be used as modem
Notice it's greyed out with no link%26gt;%26gt;

The phone has to have a WiFi Radio to do it
Samsung Memoir has no Wifi Radio.
Wi-Fi (0.0)
When we first saw the Memoir at Mobile World Congress in February, we were hoping that the omission of Wi-Fi in the specs was an oversight, but alas, it is not. The Memoir does not have a Wi-Fi radio, which still irks us and should irk you too when you try to upload those 8-megapixel images you captured with it to your Flickr account.

Purchasing and installing PC Studio won't help with that.|||Apparently you don't.
First of all, you can't use a phone as a modem if you are not paying specifically for the service. This would mean that you would have to either purchase the service beforehand from t-mobile, or that t-mobile would provide you with a way to purchase it for a monthly fee at the time you turn it on.
Second of all you would have a disc with the connection software to install on your computer. Your phone would have come with this disc, and it would have been a separate disc... all by itself.
Third of all, this is a Camera Phone with extra features. It doesn't even have WiFi to connect to your home network. You have to use the widgets it comes with and you can't add more. It is not a Windows or Palm OS phone. This is a phone you can take and process pictures with, that has the ability for limited web browsing, text messages, playing music... things like that.
Fourth of all, the documentation that came with the phone would include instructions for how to use it as a tethered modem, if that was one of the abilities of the phone. However, you saw NOTHING about that in the documentation (you did read the manual,right?) but for some reason, assumed that it has this function but the details were just left out?
Sorry. Next time, explain the features you want in a phone BEFORE you buy it, so you can get a phone that will do what you want. Don't just buy the one that looks neat.
end of line|||I have the same phone but im to lazy and well equipped with gadgets to do this, but can point one in the right direction if you need it. =)
T-Mobile has installed an OS in there that blocks everything they see as "Extra Service" they can eventually charge for.
The memoir uses software thats pretty much the same thing as the "Behold".
I dont want to give away anything else in public (To protect the innocent)|||I just wanted to tell Bon-Gart to know what your talking about before you actually do. THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED HACKING RETARD
