Orange 3G Mobile Office Card review

On a train? Don't even bother trying it!


I commute by train every day to Kings Cross which takes me approx 40 mins.
If I start using the Orange Merlin 3G card as soon as I get on the train. By the time I get to Kings Cross, I'd be lucky to get access even to just one internet home page! Forget using this 3G card on a train. It can’t handle moving between transmitters or going in and out of reception.

Orange hide their up-grade for this device because it just makes things worst! http://www.orange.co.uk/business/corporate/office/mocsoftware.html# The product is so hit and miss, I've had it working well on some rare occasions, but it's not worth the bother. Just wait and use dial up when you get there. I’m meant to be a Mobile Field Working IT Consultant but I can’t get this thing to work reliably when static and not at all when on the train!!
Just don’t bother…

Orange 3G Mobile Office Card

Editors rating
Rating: 8.1
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.

Typical price

£ 255

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