T-Mobile Dongles 3G USB for Laptops
Posted in: netbooks, Today's Chili
Now that T-Mobile has invested all that money to get its 3G network going, the company is churning out new products to get users on that network.
The latest from the telecom carrier is the webConnect USB dongle for laptops. The portable modem lets users connect their notebooks to T-Mobile’s 3G network and other Wi-Fi networks.
T-Mobile’s rivals already offer Verizon and AT&T offer similar services at comparable prices.
T-Mobile’s 3G USB stick is being manufactured by Huawei Technologies and comes with built-in access to T-Mobile connection manager software.
In areas with no 3G coverage, the software will seek out GPRS/EDGE networks. The device currently works with Windows XP and Vista and Mac support is expected soon.
The 3G USB laptop stick will be available starting March 25 and is priced at $50 with a two-year contract after
rebate and $100 with an one-year contract. Without a contract it will cost $250.
Service plans for the device will start at $60 a month for up to 5GB of wireless data.
