Free T-Mobile wifi for your PSP

The most enticing feature of the latest PSP update, firmware 3.30, is the new T-Mobile HotSpot feature. This new little tool allows you to connect your PSP to T-Mobile’s wi-fi internet service with over 8,000 hotspots across the US. T-Mobile HotSpot providers include Starbucks, Borders, FedEx Kinko’s, Hyatt, Red Roof Inns, Sofitel, Novotel Hotels, select airports - just to name a few.

Normally, T-Mobile’s HotSpot is a paid service that you must subscribe to for a small fee. However, Sony has tied a deal with T-Mobile, so PSP owners can get online for free during the next six months.

How to use T-Mobile HotSpot with PSP
1. Bring your PSP® system to a location that provides a T-Mobile HotSpot.
2. Select “Network Settings” under “Settings” on your system.
3. Select [Infrastructure Mode].

6. Select the T-Mobile HotSpot icon.
7. If you have an existing T-Mobile HotSpot account, select [Enter User Credentials].

If you do not have an account, select [Use Promotional Access] to sign up for a complimentary six-month T-Mobile HotSpot account. (To qualify for this promotional access, you must authenticate your PSP® system to the T-Mobile HotSpot network prior to March 28, 2008.)
8. Check the contents of the settings list.
9. Save the settings.

There you go! You can now play Syphon Filter pickup games while sipping your latte. Enjoy!
