no one interested in my topic so i carried my question to here..

I'm planning to buy a samsung i200, but i need to know that whether it can be used as 3G modem or not.

I've read many many threads about using smartphones or pocket PC's as dial up modems (GPRS connection sharing via "modem link").

But I could not find anything about using a smartphone as "3G modem"..

is it becasue there is no difference between using smartphones as GPRS modem and 3G modem ???

if there is a difference what is it ?

Turn a 3G Smartphone into a Wireless Modem

I did a quick search on Google and found a video on YouTube that explains how to use a Samsung BlackJack2 as 3G modem. So it must be possible!

And I think its easier to do so on i200 since the shortcut is in the start menu. On the BlackJack2 you have to search the windows folder - like shown on the video! ;o)

Turn a 3G Smartphone into a Wireless Modem (from 3:10 on)

Simply start "Internet Sharing" tool through start menu and choose USB or BlueTooth and connect to 3G!

(If not in start menu search for Start: "\Windows\IntShrUI.lnk")

WM6.5 English _23017_20090912 (AGB black) by PY8

It seems that the Chinese experts have build a WM6.5beta ROM!

The ROM "WM6.5 English _23017_20090912 (AGB black)" includes English but is Chinese by default. You have to switch to English through settings menu or REG change and restart to get the English interface!

This ROM makes no problems so fare. Not much faster than 6.1 - and only small advantages. Mostly eye-candy...

Games

Hi all,

First off, before I begin, thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread and taken the time out to post their findings. I've been trying to find more info on the i200, and this is just about the only place I've managed to find. Secondly, apologies if I repeat anything here which has already been discussed.

I got my i200 a few weeks ago on E-Bay, as I was attracted to it by the looks, features, and price. Most importantly though, I wanted to get myself a Windows Mobile phone for the first time. There are a number of reasons for this, but the biggest reason in my mind was that being a Windows phone, it would be much easier to find and use programs/games on it. I previously owned the Samsung D500 and D600, both great phones but a pain to install games on. I thought a Windows Mobile phone would be easier, but so far it seems I assumed too quickly.

Over the past fortnight or so I've downloaded about a dozen free Windows Mobile and Java games, but unfortunately all have failed to install/run on my phone.

For games with .cab files, when I copy the file I get an error something along the lines of "this file is not intended for this device". Similarly, with .exe files which I run on my PC and ActiveSync tries to install the game on my phone, it says the program isn't intended for the device. And for Java games, I get a "ClassDefFound" error.

In fact, of all the games I've so tried so far, I've only managed to make one work, and that's "Dope Wars" (based on the ZX Spectrum game).

Amongst the games that I've tried include Pocket Lemmings, BeMario, Wolfenstien and PocketUFO. I'm particularly disappointed that PocketUFO doesn't work as that was one game I was very much looking forward to playing on the phone.

Does anyone here have much experience with installing games on the i200? Is it really that hard to find compatible games?

Actually, let me make it easier by re-phrasing my question: can anyone post a list of games that they've tried and definitely do work for the i200?

Many thanks in advance

Games for WM Standard (smartphone)

Thanks lw_1183 that's very nice from you! You are welcome! Asked questions if something is unclear. But I think you will find the most things allready be answered in this forum! :-)

You are right. There are a lot of programs for WM devices! There are some things you should know:

There are to editions of Windows Mobile!

-Windows Mobile Standard (called "Smartphone" or short "SP" edition before, devices without touchscreen)

-Windows Mobile Professional (called "PPC" edition before, devices with touchscreen)

The SGH-i200 is a WM Standard device. All the programs and games for:

1. Smartphone (also SP) should work

2. PPC games will NOT work!

I don't have installed much games. But there are a lot of games on the net for smartphone devices!

Try this cool TETRIS-CLONE:

Kevtris for Smartphone 2.0

Or Browse all the Smartphone Games software by a subcategory

Maybe also interesting: Download Smartphone Games for Free - but not really for free!?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] lw_1183:
Games

Hi i200,

Thanks for your response, and thanks for posting those links. I gave Kevtris a go and it worked. :)

I tried some of the other games on those sites but didn't have much luck. I also found the below page which has some useful links for WM programs:

http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/...8-best-pocket-pc-freeware-starting-point.html

I gave some of the games on here a go and unfortunately these didn't work either, I always get the error:

"This program does not support the connected device tyre. Application manager will make the application available for installation when a supported device type is connected".

So far, the list of games I have tried that do

not

work with the i200 are as follows:

Pocket UFO

BeMario

Valentin Iliescu Chess 2.0

Death Drive

Age Of Empires Pocket

Pocket Lemmings

Pocket Pac Man

On a more positive note however, I'm delighted to say that Pocket Nester Plus (a NES emulator) works fine for the i200, just so long as you install tgetfile.dll. I'm now able to play the likes of Zelda and Mario on my phone :)

The list of games that I can report which do work with the i200 are as follows:

Dope Wars

Kevtris

Pocket Nester

I hope to do some more testing by downloading other PPC/WM games and will try to come on here to report whether they work or not.

Use of WM6.5 version 21854 ROM & Kitchen

It is real easy to cook your own ROM with that kitchen and flash it to your i200!

Simply download the kitchen from the mirror and put run_kitchen_ENv2.bat into the main kitchen folder and start that batch file. It is a translated version of the original Chinese 合成.bat.

Choose option 4 (build rom) and for size of pool enter 6. After the process finished launch ClickFlash.exe (in the update folder).
