Huawei E220

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Slow, Harms USB Port, Cheaply Made.

I used this USB modem for about 2 years. I was really upset to find out it never preformed as it said. It's very slow, no matter where you are. The USB connector is made very cheaply and does harm to your USB port. I am lucky i have 4 USB ports on my laptop or i would have had a high repair bill. From my point of view it's a total waist of time to purchase this product. The modem will disconnect you from the internet if move the laptop around because ...

Awful modem

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Prone to causing the BSOD

...The modem model is: HUAWEI E220N (HSDPA USB). The IMEI number is: 358193015995492. Microsoft may wish to add to it's knowledge database that this modem can cause crashes when wireless signal reception is (at least) variable. My current working modem is an 'ICON 225' connected to the 'Orange Broadband' network. I've had this extensively in operation for most of this week and not even a hint of crashing. Therefore, the crisis is over. In closing, ...
...modems, but it's too limited and possibly US-orientated. I'm in the UK. Microsoft really needs to sort out this matter and help UK users have a clearly defined list of approved wireless modems to choose from - as well as a blacklist of dangerous ones (such as the HUAWEI E220N). ...

Review of Huawei E220

Great value and Very reliable

Advantages: Good cheap way of getting internet on the move
Disadvantages: Took a little time to find the right AP address

I was intending to use it with the ubuntu linux operating system, after I read that other people have been successful in getting it to work on Ubuntu. The card has a small LED which lights up according to the status of the card. It lights up red when it can't find a signal, or it's trying to find a signal. The LED goes green if you are able to connect to a GPRS connection. GPRS usually gives ...
...if you find that you have the great little blue light, you're good to go onto the 3g network. 50KB/s. Much faster. I've found that this card has been quite reliable at keeping a signal. I'm using the driver that is built into ubuntu linux, which helped setting up the card easily and quickly. This is great value seeing that most 3g phones that you could use as a modem are so much more money. Well worth the money in my opinion ...
