That USB adator is like over a hundred quid. Ironic too, since internally the 3G card is basically a USB adaptor to an internal USB UMTS moderm. Argh! Personally I'd send back the Dell X1 and buy a Sony TX series. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-56419806048075241682006-08-01T21:05:00.000+01:002006-08-01T21:05:00.000+01:00I was having the same problem with images and Voda...I was having the same problem with images and Vodaphone cards. Googled your site. Thanks for the steer. Although Vodaphone is expensive they have good rates with preferred networks in Europe (£3 per meg vs about £10 if I remember right). I recently got a small Dell X1 for travelling. Whoops no PCMCIA! Fortunately for idiots like me there is a USB converter. I haven't managed to get hold of one Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-53315264060261499142006-07-06T15:56:00.000+01:002006-07-06T15:56:00.000+01:00I'm not surprised it's cheaper, Vodafone have alwa...I'm not surprised it's cheaper, Vodafone have always been rip-off merchants. Unfortunately I'm stuck with it for the duration of the contract. Recently, though, performance degraded hugely on the train to the point it was useless. I Googled a bit and found other people got an external antenna when they got their card. I didn't, there wasn't enough room in the box. Maybe they just forgot to give Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-55790460342769577572006-07-05T18:45:00.000+01:002006-07-05T18:45:00.000+01:00The new T-mobile card is far cheaper... on an 18 m...The new T-mobile card is far cheaper... on an 18 month contract the card is free and it's £20/month for 2GB!!! I'm using one myself. It too has the poor quality images (I was actually googling for help on that when I found this blog!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-65433311017505323212005-12-19T20:15:00.000+00:002005-12-19T20:15:00.000+00:00I did do a blog on it actually, blog 700 as it tur...I did do a blog on it actually, blog 700 as it turns out but it's a bit dull so I can't be arsed to link it. Insufficient use of flowery pointless language seems to be the problem tbh.As a long term user I think it does all come down to cost. Even on contract the thing is pretty lumpy. It does have quite impressive 3g to GPRS and back again switching teknowlogee where you cross coverage zones Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
