MTN F@stLink B970

[biometrics]

Has anyone tried this yet? It's a combination of a 3G router and datacard in one. According to the video below it'll be a maximum of R2,500 which is better than Vodacom's LinkSys + datacard solution.

Couldn't find much info on it except for:

What I'd like to know is if it's got the basics like:
DDNS
Auto reconnect
Port forwarding

I wanted to get one of these B970s from Nashua Mobile to test at the office, sounds like it can work well as backup or additional internet, but this is their feedback :
At this time, there is no news around this model as yet. It looks as though this model may only be available as of 2009 pending testing and availability to the networks.
So much for the statements of 'release end of September' :-(

The B970s are already shipping and available. Please PM me your contact details and I'll have a sales consultant give you a call.

Hehe... we even had the guys from Nashua Mobile WR who handle our corp accounts, over at the office on Thursday last week, and they still didn't know **** about the B970.
looks like Nashua Mobile has been left out of the loop
Looks like I'll have to try MTNSP
