If you have an HSDPA enabled handset, let's say N95 for example, can you
get their Mobile Internet service and still use HSDPA (and use the phone
as a modem etc) or do you *have* to sign up to Mobile Broadband and tell
them you don't need the USB stick? Looks like you can just sign up to
Mobile Internet just by looking at their site but it doesn't mention is
high speed (which many people just call broadband) is available if you
take this route. Does anyone have either of these and can confirm?

Hi Mickey Mouse,
HSDPA is a network upgrade, much like UMTS (what we call 3G) and GPRS
were to the older network. As such, so long as the handset or modem
you're using supports HSDPA and you're in an area with HSDPA coverage,
your mobile or modem will make use of the service whenever you're
accessing the internet

N95 is HSDPA so should be the same, using Bluetooth connection
may slow it down a bit, use USB

Not as far as I can tell, and I do this from time to time with my
Motorola V9. USB works better than Bluetooth for me, with it the
performance of my phone-as-modem is just as good as a USB dongle.
