Huawei EC-3360

Just because connecting to the high speed data transfer cellular networks is a relatively new invention does not mean that it has to cost a lot. Take the Huawei EC-3360 PC card, for example. A cheap and economical Express Card designed for use on the Alltel CDMA networks, this is a device that is practical for anyone with an Alltel cellular phone plan. Instead of turning to the more expensive options on the market, the Huawei EC-3360 provides good coverage, decent speeds, and decent connection stability for much less than similar devices.

Let's get the main problem with the Huawei EC-3360 right out of the way. A lot of manufacturers are starting to switch to the much more user friendly USB cellular modems, so it's a real shame to see that the Huawei EC-3360 is still using the old PC Card standard. While it is likely cheaper to manufacture such cards, making Express Cards instead of USB cards greatly limits the audience, as there are more and more notebook computers on the market, such as the Apple MacBook, that cannot use this type of technology.

The Huawei EC-3360 uses only the EVDO Rev. 0 cellular network, so it is not quite as fast as those newer devices that use the EVDO Rev. A network. It's pretty fast, though be advised that if speed is what you are looking for, there are better choices out there. With the EVDO network, you still get good nationwide coverage, just not the fastest speeds.

All in all, the Huawei EC-3360 is a great bargain card. Certainly not worth the price of, say, the Kyocera KPC680, this is still a great device even if it is not the fastest or the most impressive card on the market.
