  • Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G HSDPA Card

    Vodafone's enhanced notebook PC Card delivers what the mobile telco calls 'business class 3G broadband' -- but until more of the 3G network is upgraded with HSDPA, most users will remain stuck in economy seats.

  • Vodafone Mobile Connect

    Aggressive pricing, a slice of speed-boosting tech and a tempting 'unlimited' downloads plan puts Vodafone in pole position in the race for 3G datacard customers.

  • iBurst Wireless Card

    iBurst is a superb wireless broadband solution that's highly useful for the mobile business user, but users who don't require portability will likely find its price to be a deal breaker.

  • Linksys WRT54G3G

    The Linksys WRT54G3G does an admirable job of simply and seamlessly sharing a Vodafone 3G data connection.

  • 3 NetConnect HSDPA ExpressCard

    3's new mobile broadband card is almost a no-brainer: It sprints along on 3's current 3G network and will kick into overdrive following the 3.6Mbps HSDPA network overhaul, slips into notebook ExpessCard and PC Card slots and to top it off, has exceptional pricing plans.
