T-Mobile HotSpot@Home… not so hot

by Zombix on srp.15, 2007 - 22:46, under Nekategorizirano

Spominjao sam T-Mobile HotSpot@Home koji je zamišljen kao neki … hm… produžetak za mobitel koji se (bi se trebao) automatski prebaciti na WiFi čim se uđe u stan… odlična ideja ali…

Tip baš i nije jako zadovoljan… :-)

T-Mobile HotSpot runs cold with complications

My tests with this wireless network and its companion mobile phone were so underwhelming that I’d suggest anyone with even the tiniest bit of tech savvy wait for something better.
had two main issues. First, my initial setup of the proprietary Wi-Fi network, based on the carrier’s instructions, added wires to my existing wireless network. To make it work, I had to turn one of my two Wi-Fi-connected laptops into a desktop, tethered to a modem.

Making a home Wi-Fi network less wireless is not a salable feature. Nor is the fact that my secured wireless network was suddenly unsecure, open for anyone to use.

The second problem was with the phone. Let’s just say calling it uninspiring would be a compliment. It is so devoid of features — less than a megapixel camera and no Web browser for a phone designed to make Internet calls — that it could spur a comeback of the rotary dialer.

The good news here is that the setup works — mostly.

A kako li je tk onima koji su potpisali na 24 mjeseca… :-))

ALi nisu svi bas skroz negativni… ima i relativno dobrih reakcija.


Peer Review: T-Mobile’s HotSpot@Home service

At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work. Reviews have been mixed. While some love the service, others find it difficult to use or glitchy. Reviewers agree on two things, though: First, seamless Wi-Fi/mobile service integration is a great idea. And second, the phones that T-Mobile is currently selling to go with HotSpot@Home are not cool at all. More detailed reports after the jump.

Nije baš neko oduševljenje i trganje u redovima za uslugu.



A kažu da je FireFox totalno hot u Europi. Nemam pojma kako je kod drugih ali na blogu je situacija trenutno ovakva…

Firefox 433566 (53.9%)

MSIE 275788 (34.29%)

Opera 49263 (6.12%)

Firefox now a serious threat to IE in Europe: report
A study of nearly 96,000 websites carried out during the week of July 2 to July 8 found that FF had 27.8% market share across Eastern and Western Europe, IE had 66.5%, with other browsers including Safari and Opera making up the remaining 5.7%. The July market share represents a massive 3.7% rise since a similar survey in March.

A particularly worrying sign for Microsoft is that in some key European markets FF is threatening to overtake IE as the market leading browser. In Slovenia (47.9%) and Finland (45.4%) FF usage has reached parity with IE, while in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Ireland, FF has either reached or is nearly at 40% market share.

    Nije besplatan nego Adware, svakih 15 minuta koristenja moras pogledati jednu reklamu ili… platiti… :-)

    al opet za one korisnike koji samo surfaju i to ne previse ovo je puno bolje nego uzimati neki adsl od tekoma, di te kosta min 100kn mjesecno. Naravno kada bi to postojalo kod nas.
    A ovo ce se sigurno siriti na vise gradova. Ono sta ne bi bilo dobro za znati da tamo di ides na more imas internet? I to za “dzaba”?
    Istina nije bas neka brzina, ali bolje od 56k, a netrebam ni spominjati da se trebas nadati da tamo di ides imas fiksni tel.

    Ne znam, meni takvi “korisnici” kojima je 100kn preskupo za ADSL mjesecno i nisu neki korisnici… mislim… sorry ali ako nemres dati za ADSL koliko kosta 5 piva na Hvaru… e pa onda ti internet i ne treba pa ti je tak svejedno jel’ imas reklame ili moras stajati na trepavicama na glavi… ono… 100kn… pa hebate cifra, toliko kosta SAMO ISDN bez ikakavog interneta. Ali druga stvar bi bila da taj internet recimo kosta 100kn ali da se subvencionira iz nekog izvora… u tom slucaju nije besplatan ali ga gradjani ne placaju i ima neku svrhu i neki cilj tj. neki smisao… anyway… dok nam ne pocnu placati da koristimo bas njihov internet (uz obvezu gledanja reklama) nema bas nekog smisla. Jeftinije od besplatnog.. :-)
