Tony Blews has hooked himself up with a 3 mobile broadband dongle, the Huawei E220 to be exact, and has given a run down at TonyBlews.co.uk on what he’s got for his £50 and how it is working out so far.

Like others before him, Tony found the installation process of the dongle effortless; refusing in true man-with-a-new-gadget style to read the instructions. Instead just plugging it in and expressing delight at the non-requirement of an installation CD, as the software required is all on board the USB modem. Tony approves of such simplicity, “Take a note, USB device makers: This is the way forward.”

Before going into the pricing details in terms of add-ons, Tony does the speed test, demonstrating that from his perspective, they are more than adequate, especially in comparison to the mobile phone he was using previously.

So overall a happy camper, who has to get a gold star for writing a solid 3 mobile broadband first impressions review that includes the terms, thingummy and flibbertigibbet, I’ll let you discover the context for yourself.
