Thanks to the guys at 3mobilebuzz i have been given the new USB modem set for release on 3. It is made by Huawei, the same people who made the popular E220. The model number of the new modem is E169G. The first thing that struck me was the size of the device; it is much smaller than the E220 and is the same size and shape of a usb flash drive. There is a lanyard hook at the back so you can carry it around easily and a cap at the front which houses the USB connector as well as the sim card slot which is cleverly placed above the connector. The other difference is there is no cable needed to connect to the computer; you just simply slot it in to the usb port as you would any other device. The installation is quick and easy, and it uses the same software as the E220. I've taken some comparison photos so you can get a good idea on the size of the device. As far as i know it should be available from 3's website and stores in the very near future. I will be reviewing the mobile broadband service in a later post when i have played about with it more extensively.
