| 1138346 | 2010-09-19 22:33:00 | Morning All We are running 4 Tosh NB200s with built-in 3G (only HSPA) and they are ok, if quite slow on 3G. Anyone else running other brands/models of netbook with built-in 3G who can give me some real-life feedback? Cheers |

| 1138347 | 2010-09-19 23:28:00 | I use Telecom 3G from USB sticks, I would never use builtin as you are locked to a vendor! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1138348 | 2010-09-19 23:36:00 | Locked into a vendor?? You mean Tosh? Why would that be an issue SM? Our guys are on theh road - having something sticking out of the side is a recipe for breakages...and I've already had to dump some T sticks because of broken contacts. Tried soldering them but no joy. |

Tried soldering them but no joy. I understand the risk of USB sticks sticking out the side, you could get a cable extension with Velcro the stick it to the lid! As for builtin, are those modems not bespoke for the vendor they setup?, ie: AT&T!! |

| 1138351 | 2010-09-19 23:41:00 | Haev got extension calbes - but hey it's just another thing to carry aruond and for our remote users to lose...less cables etc = better. I like to keep it simple. We have trialled Telecom, Vodafone and 2 Degrees SIMs in them so no locking in as far as we need them to be. |
