It has been confirmed by many calls to tech support on Three, many e-mails and really many tries to make it work... I have Nokia N810 and I am trying to make SE W910i on Three network to work as modem. I can really say that it is not possible.

The 3G Vodafone connection is supposed to be 384kbit. I haven't clocked it while online yet - but it's definitely close. I last used it in the Bad Ass cafe Monday night - quickly whipped out the laptop and went online to book cinema tickets... It did save the day :) (of course I could have just rang up!)

java -fullversion command gives the following:
java full version “gcj-1.4.2″

Why doesn’t it find jni.h?
