Option iCON 225 HSDPA USB modem
Posted on Nov 19, 07 05:51 PM PDT
Option's iCON 225 HSDPA USB modem prides itself in being extremely tiny, targeting mass market businesses with its 63mm x 26mm x 13mm size while weighing a mere 40 grams. It offers theoretical data rates of up to 7.2Mbps, although you'll probably get much less than that in real life. Features include quad-band EDGE, GPRS and GSM data connectivity as well as 2100 MHz HSDPA/UMTS. Not only that, the iCON 225’s Zero-CD technology enables various apps, manuals and drivers to be downloaded and installed automatically whenever it is hooked to a computer for the first time. Great for environmentalists, I say. Since it's firmware can be upgraded, you could pretty much lump the iCON 225 under the category of 'future-proof'.

This modem is a very good one, here is my pros and cons:
PROS:
1. Small in size. Good look and design.
2. Very easy installation. Even easier operation.
3. Work with full internet speed even when UMTS signal is low.
Cons:
1. Get hot when connected to internet.
2. Can't be connected to external Antenna to improve signal.
3. Don't have advance options for advance user, for example you can enable PIN on SIM card, but there is no option to change the PIN!!
4. Don't have option to choose between UMTS network when you are outside your home network!

Seconded works great... also a person that takes a full caps text as a valid opinion to a decision is also dumb.
