GPRS/3G Modem

[renwils]

Is anyone aware of a USB GSM modem that has working drivers in ARM/Linux? I think it would be pretty cool to pair it up with a prepaid data plan SIM card for superior web browsing compared to something like the iPhone.

Yes. Not only in Linux, but already confirmed working on Pandora.

That post refers to the Huawei E220, and is also true for the Huawei E160. That's just for starters. For general Linux compatibility info, this is a useful search: http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+USB+HSDPA&ie=UTF-8

As for what else will "just work" in Pandora, time will tell. There will be plenty of people road testing different modems once Pandora arrives.

e160?

Fantastic! Hopefully it will work with 3G adapters and I can get myself a wireless internet contract for use with my pandora ^_^

How do I connect the GPRS on my blackberry? I had it before but when I updated my 8310 curve to the OS 4.5 i lost my GPRS connection. What do I have to do to reconnect and have the ability to use the internet again?

You might try contacting your service provider or even RIM instead of a random forum on the internet which has absolutely nothing to do with your phone.
