3G portable Internet device - does one exist?
I'm looking for an light, portable Internet device that I can use on the bus or train etc.
As GPRS is really slow and Wi-Fi is only really available in pubs/bars etc that have a hotspot, I was wondering if it's possible to buy a 3G device (3G is much faster than GPRS and covers about 80% of the UK). Does such a device exist or is the closest thing buying something like the Nokia N800 and bluetoothing it to a 3G mobile phone? |

N95 supports 3G and is as portable as you can hope for.

there the nokia internet tablet - lots of phones like the N95 mentioned above - laptops with usb 3G modems available from 3 and others.
Make sure you look out for a device with HSDPA to make the 3G fast. |

I wish I'd read this thread before I bought my Sony Ericsson K800i phone.
