Unless the carrier deliberately disable the function, most of HSDPA handsets can double as a USB modem, but not vice versa. The Toshiba Portege G450 is truly one of a kind. While its primary task is to connect your notebook or UMPC to a HSDPA network through its mini USB port, the G450 is also a handy cellphone, as indicated by the awkwardly shaped keypad and a 96x36 pxiel OLED display on its back. Toshiba is able to reduce the size of the phone modem hybrid by offloading the earpiece and mouthpiece to a separate headset. We reckon you won't be able to hear the Tri-band GSM phone ringing without the plug-in. Its built-in battery (not sure if it is USB rechargeable) can last 300 hours standy-by and 180 minutes talk time. An unlocked Portege G450 USB will run you for 199 Euro, and will come in white, black and red.
