Can I use HSDPA modem with HTC touch?

[antay11]

Hi
I recently got a Huawei 220 modem, which enables connection to the internet via HSDPA. The modem comes with USB cable. its primarily used to connect to laptop, so the laptop can connect wirelessly to the Internet via HSDPA, almost anywhere in my country.

My question is, will I be able to connect the Huawei 220 to my HTC Touch, and use the Huawei as a modem so that I can similarly connect my HTC Touch to the internet? I reckon the HTC Touch is like a mobile laptop in a way, with some difference of cos. Anyone has tried that before? Thanks!

no usb devices are devided into 2 types hosts and peripherals
only usb hosts can use other usb devices peripherals can only be used

99% of htc phones are peripherals

Celios makes a cell phone docking station which can serve as a USB host IIRC. I wonder how that works.
