i have this device right now. although even if theres no 3g the device will automatically look for means to connect (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA) so you many options available. also, it is using the phone network not the same network with its canopy version so i guess there would be no network congesstion. its fast sometimes, mostly its just average to slow. if your playing online games this is a no no. but for browsing its ok. take note of its 2 years lock-in. the customer support is very poor even now, they keep on assuming that you are using the other product and not the plug it.
the most worse thing is that its timed every 30 minutes. so if your using the modem for just 15 minutes you will be billed with P10. my advise? just wait for the wired or youll regret it. fyi i have this device since january. dont go to the resellers, go directly to the wireless center and apply form there. the device is always not available until you subscribe because they are going to order them from manila. so when you ask them if its available they will surely answer you no because its an order basis. if you have that ericson phone with 3g, you can still browse the net using your phone. i advise you use that instead of binding yourself with satans minion. im really not happy with this device.
