Has anyone come up with a way to use the 9930 as a hotspot? I have an Ipad available to me if I can get a connection through my 9930 while on the road.
Can't use it as a hotspot yet, the word is that functionality is coming within a month or two. If your iPad is jailbroken I'd suggest that you give iBluever a shot, I use that on my iPad to tether to my 9900 and previously the 9700. Great little utility for a few bucks, you can get it through Cydia.
I'm still afraid to update to 7.1
I have had so many bad experiences with RIM updates and I don't want to go through a day of screaming at the Support people at Verizon to help me get it back up and working. I can't afford the downtime if it goes bad...and the odds are in favor of it going bad in one way or another.
