Thanks for that. How easy is it to connect the Ipad through one of these phones and what is involved?
Cheers,

Its actually pretty easy. The main thing is, no matter which phone u get, make sure it has a tethering app. Preferably, a wifi one for fastest speeds. If i were u, id go with an Android phone. Most have tethering apps built in. If not then u can get from marketplace. U might have to root it though. Root=jailbrake for android. Theres different types of tethering. U can tether thru bluetooth but slower speeds. Wifi tethering is the best. Its what i use. If u have, or get, a windows mobile phone, u can find tethering apps for those. I have a HTC Tilt2, which is a win mo phone ver. 6.5.1. I use the xda wireless wifi tethering app. It wrks perfectly. Now i just start the app on my phone and ipad almost instantly connects, everytime. There are different types of wifi tether. The one im using is AD-Hoc connection. That means computer to computer only. So once im connected, nuthin else can connect to the network. The better type, in my opinion, is the Infrastructure tether. Thats like the ones u see on t.v. Advertising the phone as wifi hotspot. With infrasture, u can connect multiple devices to the internet at once.
Getting it connected is pretty simple thru tether. It gets more complex when u wanna use high end security keys n such. Hope that gives u insight.
Hold on, didnt u say u have an iphone. U could tether with thst if it has service on it. Lol
