JoikuSpot is a free mobile software solution that turns
Nokia Smartphones to WLAN HotSpots.
JoikuSpot software is installed directly to the phone. When
switched on, laptops and ipods can establish instant and fast
wireless internet connection via smartphone's JoikuSpot
access point using phone's own 3G internet connection.
Multiple devices can connect to JoikuSpot in parallel and
seamlessly share the same 3G internet connection. JoikuSpot
acts thus as an internet gateway to external WLAN devices.
JoikuSpot Light is in BETA phase, and has not been fully tested
against all possible device combinations. JoikuSpot has been
successfully tested with phones listed in the download section.
Please make sure that you have the latest firmware on the phone.
You can easily update it with Nokia Software Updater.
Known issues:
-JoikuSpot might also work with E60 with new hardware version.
With older hardware the JoikuSpot is created, but for unknown
reason the connection to internet is disconnected after 10 seconds.
If you manage to successfully use JoikuSpot with E60, please
let us know. Please also deliver your hardware version,
you can get it with *#0000#
-JoikuSpot has been tested successfully with several laptops:
Fujitsu-Siemens, Apple Macbook, Dell, HP and new IBM models
seem to work well. With older IBM laptops (at least T40P) the
connection is not working. The reason behind is the WLAN
chipset that the older IBM series is using.
