Acer Aspire One / HTC Snap and Internet connection sharing


Its been quite some time since I have posted. Many things going on, and lots of work to keep me busy.

Today, I set up Internet connection sharing on my new mobile phone and the Acer Aspire One. It was actually quite easy, and I am blogging from that connection now. The accompanying screen shots show a simple speed test from Testmyspeed.com. While it is not blazing fast connection it is more than adequate for email and web browsing.

The test gave me a download speed of 528 kb down and 336 kb up. You must enable a PAN (Personal Area Network) between the phone and the netbook to enable Internet connection sharing. This in cases of no other access is better than nothing at all

Acer Support experience #1

Last week on March the 5th I contacted Acer support via their US toll free number (1-866-695-2237). The support call was relatively quick, lasting perhaps 10 minutes. The first few minutes were spent navigating their Voice response system, until I was brought in contact with a representative. I was calling to secure a system recover DVD CD set, in the event of a catastrophic failure. Their representative was friendly and courteous, but we must have not communicated well. I am certain I expressed what I wanted as clearly and concisely as possible. Acer's representative seemed to understand my needs and advised that they would send a recovery USB drive. I questioned this, but he assured me that this would allow me to recovery my XP operating system, which is what I was wanting.

One week later I received a envelope Fed Ex from Acer and it contained a 1Gb USB flash drive. The contents of the drive contained the fix for a known video problem with the AA1 where 1/3 of the display is blacked out. Obviously this is not what I had requested.

I will place a call to them again soon, and try again to secure the recovery DVD CD set. So my 1st experience with Acer support, while positive, was not productive.
