Orange 3G Mobile Office Card review

Tuesday 30 November 2004, 1:53 PM

Card works so much better with the O2 Connection Manager!


I found the Orange software to be terrible and stumbled upon O2's version which works very well with the Orange card and even installs later drivers which achieve the full 384 kbps not 115kbps serial port speed of the Orange drivers.

Using this Connection Manager, GPRS to 3G and 3G to GPRS handovers are far more effective with significantly less drop-outs than when using the Orange software.

Verdict

Orange's 3G data card introduces some much-needed competition into this fledgling market, but there's still some way to go on pricing and usability.

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
