    it will all be down to whether or not you can get drivers for your O2 usb.

    You might have better luck on some Android forum.

    edit: O2 does have some android phones so its possible they might have some drivers for this or they atleast will be able to advise you whether it will work or not.

    You could buy a Mifi. http://cgi.ebay.ie/Unlocked-HUAWEI-MiFi-i-Mo-E5830-E5-Router-iPad-etc-/190414090560?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhones&hash=item2c55907140

    Shop around for a better price.

    You move your sim into the the mifi, and connect it your android device over wifi.

    I use this on my android phone.

    very good Idea, I will try this and will let you know.

    With the mifi, you are limited to connecting 5 PC's to the wireless at a time. So it makes it 5 times better than the standard sim usb. It has a internal battery that lasts about 5 hours.

    do you know any other ones, brand ?

    do I search for "sim router" ?

    A sim router is different than a mifi. A mifi is portable and you can bring it anywhere. A sim router is a stationary device that would be left plugged in, in your house the whole time.

    Thanks, I understand now.

    So for my tablet PC I need the mifi which I intend to use while traveling.

    The sim router is more for home or any fixed place.

    Thanks again.
