What droid for tethering data? - General Questions and Answers

Basically i have a Samsung 10.1 Slate, it doesn't support 3G so my plan is to use a droid smart phone to grab data and tether it to my slate.
Given the above, cheapest yet most effective droid to pick? Must be cheap as possible! Need the quickest speeds i can get. Thanks

What country are you in? (Different devices on different providers offer different functionality.)

Sorry i'm in the United Kingdom.
The tablet is a galaxy tablet 10.1
I imagine tethering data through bluetooth would be the best option ?
Just need a phone that can process data quick, suggestions ?
Thanks

Really all of them can. Even an old WinMo phone can. Either it be built into the OS or an app like http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Rooted and installed that onto my gf's samsung tranform. A pos phone on boost mobile. She uses it for internet on her laptop.

Anyone ever take a shot at the Samsung M7600 beat dj?

I know its not a smartphone but does that matter? is android at all possible on this device? It looks like it has soo much potential at least for andro newbs that dont require wifi or anything. the stock firmware sucks and ive scoured the internet for updated firmware and its all deleted like the device isnt supported anywhere anymore .
anyone here ever take a crack at it ??
Neat phone; I would assume, if Android was never on the phone, and the phone was comprised of hardware parts that have never been in another Android phone, that there wouldn't be enough base information to compile a working image (no driver info for hardware, among other things.) Just a supposition though.

[Q] Get phones at a "Upgrade" Price?

Hello xda
I am wondering if any of you know where to get "cheaper" phones. As of right now I want an SGSII for t-mobile, but I can't pay $600 -___-
And of course I don't have an upgrade :/
Any ideas?
anything chinese store gives me the goosebumps. Scamsssss
I can guarantee you that you can get one for less then $600 but it's not legal...
But on the legal side of things take a look in the "for sale" section and see if anyone is getting rid of one and if you do buy unlocked i would suggest the Nexus over the SIIX isn't their SI still on froyo ?
Threatening to leave your carrier usually garners an early upgrade. It's not very ethical, but it works.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Specially if you threaten during a slow month.

Which of these tablets does XDA like & why?

I can get a pretty good deal on the following 3 tablets through my union:
- Xoom w/wifi bundle (not sure on GB size)
- Galaxy 10.1 (16gb)
- Thrive (32gb)
I plan on rooting anyone that I may get, but want the opinions of the experienced XDA users and what they like/dont like about them.
I'm guessing most users on here with a tablet have them rooted, so hopefully you guys can help me make a choice.
I dont intend on using the tablet as a replacement for a laptop. Its going to be used more-so for sharing pics, videos, browsing, media stuff, etc, and connecting to the TV through the hdmi option.
Thanks guys..

[Q] Installing a different OS on ZTE Score

Is there a way to install Windows CE, mobile or phone on this phone? The phone is a ZTE Score (Cricket) and runs Android 2.3. I have another phone I use mostly and I do not care if I lose the ability to make phone calls. I just wanted the GPS and WiFi, I bought this for $29.99 and it would not be too much of a loss if I bricked it although I would prefer not to. I mostly want a plain Windows OS. Can someone help me out?

Blackberry qualify "Smoked by Windows Phone challenge?"

Does anyone know if Blackberry 8707v qualify for Microsoft's Smoked by Windows Phone contest? The rule mentioned "smartphone" but I am not sure if this model fall into this category?
It has 2G/3G connection (no WLAN), email, instant messenger plus a web broswer. Do I need to install any App before going to the contest?
Basically, I am looking foward to get smoked and trade in this sucker for new WP phone
Phone should have Wifi for WP challenge
I did participate in the challenge with a Nokia E63 and it does have a Wifi.
I was aware that phone should have Wifi. I did confirm that a day back before participating. There was a person in line behind me who was planning to participate with a LG Vu(no wifi) and I told him to check with store employees and he did check. He had to leave as they didn't allow him to participate.
