Here’s a kind of USB modem I always wanted. Vodafone UK’s new USB Stick Pro is nothing special in terms of the look — all it has is a retractable USB connector which makes the device way easier to carry around. In addition, there’s also a microSD memory card slot that turns the modem into a USB flash drive.
As for the speed, in theory you should be able to get download speeds of up 7.2Mbps and upload speeds of up to 2Mbps. In real life, however, expect downlink to go anywhere between 1 and 5 Mbps and uplink at around 1Mbps.
Vodafone is also introducing a new 1GB a day plan for 15 GBP, which compliments the existing 3GB a day plan for 20 GBP. With any of these plans, the USB Stick Pro costs 49 GBP, which is not that bad…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
