The latest version of the Motorola USB modem driver now permits full USB
speed to be selected.

I don't blame you.

>Is the new speed high enough that Bluetooth isn't sufficient?

My ancient ThinkPad 600 (which I'm using while my ThinkPad T41 is being
repaired) has only USB 1.1, and I can select a port speed of 12 Mbps.
The current sustained speed of HSDPA is within the speed range of
Bluetooth, but high-speed bursts can exceed Bluetooth speed and would
thus work better with USB. In addition, latency is reduced by the
higher USB speed. Subjectively, my USB connection does now seem to be
faster and more responsive than Bluetooth, but I haven't yet run
carefully controlled tests.

I wondered if that was selectable, as my cellphone battery might be less
precious than my laptop battery in a given situation.

I don't see any mention of the V3xx charging from a PC in the User Guide or
FAQs. Does it charge? Is it selectable?

That will depend on the USB cable. I've heard of some active, others
inactive. Small USB devices usually derive power from the port. I
think cables furnished with Sony cameras for instance, are inactive. In
other words, all pins of the PC (large) are not connected to the device
(mini) end. At least I think (there I go again) so.

Not selectable AFAIK, but not a big issue (to me in any event), since
the cell phone battery has so much less capacity than the laptop
battery.

>I don't see any mention of the V3xx charging from a PC in the User Guide or
>FAQs. Does it charge?

Yes, and the charge is quite fast.

>Is it selectable?

No (AFAIK).
