To all the lucky guys (like me :-) attended to the Microsoft PDC 09 conference last week, and won an acer touch tablet PC, here is how you can use the built-in 3G modem (yes it has such) to connect the Internet using your local cellular vendor.
First, make sure that you have a data package. Now do as follows:
- Turn off your machine, and remove the battery
- Insert your USIM+ card to the sim slot (you may hear the click sound while pushing)
- Connect the battery and turn on your machine
- While logged in to Windows 7 turn on the 3G modem by switching the 3G button located in the front of the laptop panel (push it left)
- Click on the Windows 7 network tray icon and connect
- A dialog may appear, asking for access point. You may call your cellular vendor, asking for details.
- If you’re connected to Orange Israel, just place: uinternet in the access point (no user, no pass)
- Surf the Internet.
