No, not Mbps, not kBps, it should've been kbps (kilobits per second). But I think most INQ readers know this, so does it justify 7 comments (including mine)? Perhaps the space would be better used to discuss the actual article? :)

I would much perfer cheaper and better PCMCIA and express card units, can't stand those USB dongles on my laptop, they always get in the way.

3G is 200-300 Mbit/s? EDGE is 150 Mbit/s?

WOW!

I'd be interested in one of these if they were cheap enough (say under £50) and if the operators offered some sort of PAYG scheme.

No doubt eventually the operators will offer something along these lines.

Did Sony Erricson give any ideas of pricing?

"If the modem can't get an HSDPA connexion, it will fall back tostandard 3G which is about 200-300 Mbit/s. Now that O2 is supporting EDGE in the UK, the modem can even fall back to that.
EDGE offers about 150 Mbit/s."

So there we have it; EDGE is 20 times faster than HSDPA. Why did no-one tell Vodafone? ;-)

I had no idea EDGE had suddenly outstripped plain old fast ethernet. Amazing!

Let alone those 3G speeds quoted...

All of the rated speeds are Mbit/s... I believe the last 2 speeds should be kbit/s

I suppose,it meant 300Kbit at 3G and 150Kbit with EDGE..

It shouldn't be 200-300 kBps and 150 kBps for 3G and EDGE, respectively?
