What is it: Portable 3G USB modem
What we think: Easy to install, straightforward to configure and delivers solid 3G data communications
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 13 December 2006
Tags: vodafone, ports, self, limit
We like:
Installs automatically under Windows; small, light and easy to carry; double-ended connecting cable for low-power-supply USB hubs; connection status is clearly indicated via on-device LEDs
We don't like:
Single-headed connecting cable is short, making it difficult to see the status LEDs in some circumstances; startup and connection is relatively slow
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Vodafone's Mobile Connect USB Modem couldn't be easier to install, delivers solid 3G data communications and is straightforward to configure. It's also smaller and easier to carry than a PC Card, and requires minimal technical competence to use
