    WINDspeed Pocket Hotspot / Thoughts?

    I'm thinking about getting the Huawei E583 with the Surf a Little plan. What is this device like?

    If it's anything like the e587 on Telus, it looks like a mouse.
    The battery is good for 3-4 hours.
    The signal range of the Wifi is average (comparable to the hotspot features on smartphones|). Nothing like a brand name router.

    I carry the Huawei everywhere I go. I find it better than data on the phone because I have never roam on the Huawei by accident. (I have roam on data on the phone by accident many times).

    MY experience with it is great.
    NO complains. Removing the back is a bit of work (does not apply to most...because I swap sim often)

    No problem with T999 in my 3 months of testing. Most of my accidents are my errors, ie not shutting the roaming off when going out of zone.

    Would you mind posting a Speedtest, please?

    LOL, I don't think the results will be much different than those of the GNEX or Amaze "4G".
    Nevermind Bell.. LTE is fine.

    Unless you enjoy surfing at 200kbps/10kbps I don't know why you would use Wind for data. If you are lucky you might get 1.2 Mbps but that's only in select areas.
