Some comparisons for speed
The APN name for T-Mobile is internet2.voicestream.com. internet3.voicestream.com is for a private rather than public network.
I have a Sprint account and phone and I set it up as a modem and did a bandwidth test to compare it to T-Mobile. Here are the resutls:
Sprint Network: 180 KB :P
T-Moible Network: 38KB :twisted:
The Spring network was almost 5 times faster :!:
I used bandwidthplace.com/speedtest for my testing.
I would be interested in what other people get doing this test.

PS When trying to install your phone as a modem be sure and have the USB modem enabled on the phone BEFORE you plug it in, otherwise the computer won't recognise it as a modem, it will think its a smartphone and try to sync it.
Also PASTE Arne's values into the dialogs, to avoid typos.
