Opera Mini for iPhone has been approved by Apple and will be soon available at the App Store.

I just got myself a Reliance Huawei EC1260 3G USB data modem.

The good thing is when you connect, it shows a disc image of a Mac installer. The bad thing is, the Mac installer is for a 32 bit OS, and Snow Leopard is 64 bit. Of course you can boot in 32 bit mode by pressing 3+2 when booting, but that isnt a good solution.

Fortunately Huawei has released a 64 bit driver which sadly the Reliance customer care don’t know about yet.

You can download the Huawei driver here. I downloaded the MobileConnectDriver (4.16.00.00).

Make sure you get your modem ‘activated’ by the folks at Reliance when you buy it. Activation can ONLY be done on a Wondows PC. Unless activated the modem wont work.
Double click to go through the standard installation procedure.

(iSync doesn’t work with this phone. BitPim doesn’t seem to support either. PhoneDirector MAY have support, but it’s as yet untested. Will test soon as I can manage the 18MB download. Am on the road, connected via this phone only, and the speed’s too painful and expensive to attempt an 18MB download. )

…but unfortunately only in the USA

Nokia Map Loader only works on Windows, needs .net framework, and if you add a new map the map loader deletes all your existing maps so you’ll have to download them all over again.

But you don’t need Nokia Map Loader. This site links to all maps on Nokia’s smart2go server. Works with any browser on any operating system, including Mac and Linux. No need to install anything on your computer, so it works when you’re in a hotel, school, at work, or in an internet cafe.
If your phone talks WiFi or 3G you can add and update maps from your phone’s web browser without even touching a computer.

You can download maps for entire continents, individual countries, or individual regions within some countries. Download sizes range from one megabyte (Gibraltar) to over a gigabyte (europe or america). You’ll need a 4 GB card to fit the entire planet. Map coverage for western countries is quite good, maps for commercially less attractive parts of the world tend to contain lots of white space.
