Vodafone 3.5G 7.2Mbps Modem on a USB Stick

Vodafone Mobile Connect 3.5G data card used to be a brick and then a pebble, and now it's merely an oversized USB stick. The latest facelift for the HSDPA modem resembles a traditional USB thumbdrive, and as such, it neglects the need for a connection cable. The cap is also cleverly tethered to the device, thus making it almost impossible to lose. The real benefit is obviously the bump to 7.2Mbps download and 2Mbps upload speed, putting the modem's performance on par with that of most ADSL services. The additional bandwidth inherently speeds up your file download while your wireless carrier will definitely put their 'fair use' policy that limits users to a certain data downloaded per month to good use.
