It should certainly be possible to upgrade the E220's firmware - though only from a Windows machine, so I need to get round to connecting it to Anna's work laptop. I did try using the Vodafone Mobile Connect software in preference to the Huawei one, but it (perhaps unsurprisingly) complains that I've got a 3 SIM, not a Vodafone one... One thing that I've found can help a little is sending an obscure AT command to the modem to tell it "use 3G only, don't drop down into 2.5G". But in general it drops connections frustratingly often given that the cell tower is only half a mile away from our mooring... Richard
