I think its fair to say that i am in the minority when it comes to mobile phones. I dont have one and i dont want one. Weird? Probably, but thats just me, plus i save quite a bit of money per month this way compared to people i know with mobile phones.
One thing i do miss though is a 3G mobile broadband internet connection using something like an iPhone.
When i first heard about the Novatel Mifi 2352, i knew straight away that this would solve this problem for me.
The Novatel Mifi 2352 allows you to have your very own mobile wifi hotpost. The Mifi 2352 contains your 3G sim card which allows you to connect to the internet and then at the same time, the Mifi 2352 gives off a Wifi signal which allows you to connect upto 5 devices on the go.
This is great for me, as i can now use my iPod Touch’s email capabilities anywhere or i can use my Macbook pro when i am away from home and i am in a place where where there is no Wifi hotspots. I am now my own Wifi hotspot, so i know i will never be without an Internet connection.
I know i’m not going to be a huge downloader on the go, so i chose to sign up with Orange’s £4.89* per month 3G Mobile Broadband package which gives you 512MB of data per month which will be fine for a bit of email checking, checking twitter and looking at football scores on the BBC website. If i find the 512MB amount of data isn’t enough, i can always upgrade to their 1GB package which is also very reasonable.
Of course though, you dont have to use Orange, you can use any network you like. I also tried a, Three, sim card that i had, and that worked no problem.
The mifi 2352 is a beautiful little device which you can see in the image below. It is very small and extremely light. You can just turn it on and put it in your pocket or bag and just forget about it.

Overall i am extremely happy with this device. I did have a little trouble getting my Orange 3G sim to connect when i first used it, but after i updated the Mifi 2352′s firmware, i had no problems at all. I would highly recommend this little device, and i am very pleased i got it.
