Best Midband Device?

    Ok, I am on a rolling contract and I would like to update my device without signing on to another contract.

    I currently have a 7.2mbps dongle but I reckon a hotspot would be of more use to me as I generally use my laptop/phone with my current internet and this involves sharing the dongle connection from the laptop to the phone with Connectify.

    As an upgrade, I'd like a device of 14.4-21.1mbps, ideally a hotspot device that can be used with a meteor SIM. I've done a bit of research and a Huawei E586 MiFi with dock seems to be exactly what I'd want. The thing is, I have no idea where to buy one.

    Does anyone know where one of these can be bought and whether they'd work with Meteor? Or does anyone have any other recommendations?

    Cheers.

    I would wait for e586. Afaik they have just been made available in 3 uk so hopefully not long until they are here in Ireland.

    Other option is to go up north and get it there but I do not know if there is an unlock available.

    Hey, I am using meteor Broadband with the E173 . The last 4 Days it's nearly impossible to surf at the evening. When I change the dongle (to E353) would it be better for me?
