Hi,

Trying to hook up my 3.5G (HSDPA) Pocket PC (HTC Trinity) to my Macbook as a modem either via USB or bluetooth, but havent had any luck yet.
Kindly walk me through if anyone of you has experience of doing that.

Thanks a million in advance.

You should have a program for Internet Sharing. Since it's running Windows Mobile, you're best off using Bluetooth. First pair the phone with your Macbook and then run the Internet Sharing program. Click on the Bluetooth icon in your taskbar and select "Join Network on...) and it should connect. You should now be able to use your phone's Internet connection on your Macbook

USB would be a much better route as the speeds you can get with HSDPA far surpass the bandwidth of Bluetooth

That true, but I'm not sure if you can connect a Windows Mobile phone to a Macbook and use it as a modem
