Vodabomb, eMTyN and Cell E?

*Wouldn't it be better to just get yourself an Android 2.2 phone? Most of them can be wi-fi hotspots.

That is my calculation on the price yes. Just confirm with the store first. It might vary.

[kingrob]

I'm not impressed, would rather take a B970b router.

The advantage with this R201, is that it has a battery, which for me is a huge plus point, i dont need to be near a power outlet.

Hi Churchill. Did you see my post on the first page? Asked where you are based. Perhaps I can sort you out.
