I am looking at buying an OPEN (i.e not operator locked) USB Data Dongle, either in CDMA EVDO (Reliance/Tata Photon kind) or 3G (Airtel/BSNL/Tata Docomo kind etc). At the moment I am not looking at any specific operator in particular. So any advice on who is cheaper for limited use (about 2GB/month)
Was looking at the Micromax site and find a few there. But some of them say Limited support to MAC/Linux. Don't know what it means. I know that there are a few others out there like ZTE/Huawei etc, but don't now if they sell open dongles in the market and what extent is Linux supported. Any advice on the following: 1. Does it make sense to buy an open unlocked device. I am not so much of a network hopper. 2. A cheap Open Data Dongle in either Technology that is known to work well with Linux (Debian derived). (Cheaper vis-a-vis the locked device that the Operator gives) 3. Are there any that do both CDMA EVDO and 3G. 4. Which operator to go by. I am in Hyderabad. -- Regards Narendra Diwate
