'Tethering made easy: SIMFi is a SIM card with built-in Wi-Fi router
Some mobile phones can do Wi-Fi tethering, others need to connect to the PC Suite for Internet sharing and some just can't do it, period. But what if the SIM card in the phone could do it all by itself? Sagem Orga and Telefonica have come up with such a SIM card, dubbed SIMFi.
SIMFi is compatible with existing phones but acts as a Wi-Fi router that any device can connect to. The Wi-Fi gadgetry is integrated into the card itself, but we guess you'd still need a phone with good 3G connectivity to source the data connection in the first place.
More information should be revealed at the MWC next week and hopefully some nagging questions about SIMFi will be answered, like how good a Wi-Fi radio have they managed to fit into the SIM card form-factor and what kind of strain that will put on the phone's battery.
Anyway, this has the potential to become highly popular for customers with solid data plans. Get a SIMFi card with a data plan and you can use it both for your phone and laptop/netbook with no hassle - no moving the card back and forth between the phone and modem or worry about PC Suites or tethering hacks.
HTC HD2 owners are probably smiling right now, their phone came with a Wi-Fi Router app preinstalled. But SIMFi will work on feature phones too, which is a pretty big advantage.'

u guys talk accessing the web 4 free.
That's cool, but as Gucci was referring to, there's already a dedicated forum for that.
We'll talk about phones, (including broken screens), cars and other stuff in here. After all, variety is the spice of life.
And by that, by no means does that undermine the significance of the other thread's purpose and importance to many.

Yeah man, it got scratched through normal use I guess, but it's mostly the stylus when the phone is in my pocket...
I'd still want a pouch though.
Yeah, it's the same Nicki..." And I'm rich I could buy you" lol.
That's about the only coolest thing about Weezy's verse, don't get me wrong, he still gets my respect.
HOBBS
lol, you heartless. I blame it on the stylus, although I do prefer it as to the ones that slide into the phone... Oh well.

'Microsoft to announce new phone software - sources
Microsoft Corp is set to announce new mobile phone software on Monday, according to sources close to the company, as it looks to wrestle back market share from Apple Inc's iPhone and Research in Motion Ltd's BlackBerry.
The world's largest software company, which makes operating systems for phones made by HTC Corp, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, Motorola Inc and others, is hoping to regain momentum in the fast-growing sector after a lacklustre update to its mobile software in October.
The overhaul of Microsoft's phone technology comes as it haemorrhages market share in the burgeoning smartphone market, which many see as the key to the future of communication and media.
Microsoft took just an 8.8 percent of the global smartphone operating system market last year, according to technology analysis firm Canalys, down from 13.9 percent the year before.
It trails Symbian, the system used on Nokia phones, which has 47.2 percent of the market, RIM's BlackBerry with 20.8 percent and Apple's iPhone with 15.1 percent.
Microsoft also faces competition from Google Inc's new Android system, which already has a 4.7 percent share of the market.'
