The problem is these phones run out battery in less than an hour whn they are brodcasting.
These deicated devices are meant only for a specific purpose & won’t make you miss that important call you could have taken otherwise.

Spend a liitle more and buy any Symbian Nokia with built in wifi and download joikuspot light or premium version and have personal wifi hotspot on the go annd the best part is n number of users can connect to the network.

There are few similar WiFi routers available in the market with standard Nokia batteries. If this device has a standard battery of any mobile phone brand, then it would its USP

Once you start using such products, without it being available, you will feel like fish out of water

These days many mobile phones [Android 2.2 and above and iPhone with iOS 4.3] come with built in WiFi router / Personal Hotspot functionality. If you are having / planning to buy one of these phones, the standalone WiFi routers are not needed

better to buy Reliance or Tata photon plus with Wifi Router(USB option for these Network access device)

anyone can buy cheap 3G routers at ebay

do not go for Vodafone as it is a LOCKED one u can not use it on other networks,
use Indian or Chinese routers they r cheap, reliable and unlocked for any Network provider.
