I have had this little marvel from the start of the year. Was a free upgrade from my USB modem from "3". It can be bought these days for less than £50.

I left it in the drawer for over a month without realising it's potential. Then when I saw a friend using it I took it out and use it now pretty much everywhere while on the move.

I connect 2 netbooks and my son's ipod to it as well. It is blazing fast I have had skype video chat with someone on the other side of the world while my wife was driving at over 70 miles an hour... Better than that I have had a facetime call my son's ipod in HD quality again on the move.

The battery life is excellent on a full charge it lasts more than 5 hours. Also the battery can be kept charged in car with a run of the mill usb power outlet and a mini usb cable.

Mine is locked to three but there are others that are unlocked and can take any sim card - just take out your sim card form your old usb modem and slide it in - thereby sharing your internet connection - and yes it does have a password so any evesdroppers can be shut out!!

Awesome piece of kit.
