    I have the ZTE Blade, it would cost me €20 with Meteor for texts & internet about 2gb.
    Came across there broadband, I have a usb connecter, what I was thinking was connect the usb broadband into the connecter and on the other end my ZTE lead then into the phone.

    So Broadband - Connecter - Lead - Phone.

    Would that work?? Maybe the stupidest question ever but for €10 a month for 10GB would be amazing if it worked.

    Thanks.

    I think what he meant was using an USB broadband modem to access the net from the Blade, instead of the built-in 3G radio. The short answer is: no it's not possible unfortunately. No phone I know of is capable of being an USB host, without some serious trickery.

    Wow that's very impressive, thanks for the heads up. Still I doubt a broadband modem would work, without at least some sort of app. Or is that what you meant?

    I just meant USB OTG as a whole. I doubt the mobile broadband would work.

    The htc sensation allows you to use the internet connection on your pc/laptop.
