Up North?: T-Mobile - Huawei E583C

Do T-Mobile have a retail presence in Northern Ireland? I'd like to pick up a Huawei E583C for use down here..

Identical in use, to the E585, but with an external Antenna port (CRC9) and a slightly higher capacity battery.

The bigger question would be, can you get it unlocked?

DC-Unlocker have it listed. Much like the E585, you can create/edit a new profile.

The only downside is the battery, not compatible with the other Huawei models or slot in battery chargers I've already acquired.

Well, that's a scam site if I've ever seen one.

I was thinking about that but the e586 is just around the corner and it delivers 21mbps. Currently o2.ie has it, same as three in uk.

gzoladz, yeah, things move along.. I was mooching about eBay for the E586 and it retails unlocked and unbranded (Huawei logo on case) for less than buying it from Three.

Seems some other countries have to offer these devices 'open'.

Comes in the 3 Network black and a Huawei version with slightly curved face and a silver case.

Nice device.
