funny. today i was thinking about how cool it would be if i could get a phone that turned the 3G signal into WiFi to use with my touch. and, for that matter, reformat my text messages to show up on my touch and look like iChat convos.

except a gutted-out and slimmed-down pininfarina i836 nextel would have been my preferred look for this, not a generic S60 candybar. oh well, i guess all the people who actually have pull with phone companies like candybars better.

and then you learn ssh & ssh port forwarding, making http and https enough for everything (yes, bittorrent, Jabber / XMPP, IMAP/IMAP+SSL, POP, heck, I mean *everything*).

Anyone know if you can turn an iPod Touch into a hotspot and/or repeater?

well i dont have a data plan, but i would love to be able to connect my laptops together while on the go, simply for lan-style communications.

I'd also like to use my phone as a "modem" but instead of using the data plan use the wifi chip in the phone. I have a mobile computer that doesn't have wifi (not a laptop)

@doofusgumby: "or http" = "OVER http"

if it supports http and https, then it would work for outlook anywhere, or the rpc (or whatever) or http protocol for remote exchange server access.

3G iPhone in title does not make sense. Why would anyone buy an S60 just to make an iPhone 3G? Though, it's great for people already having S60 and wanting to transfer that to their laptop. Also makes great sense for someone having S60 and iPod Touch.
