Finally, the first 3G modem for T-Mobile USA’s network has appeared at the FCC. It’s the Huawei UMG181 and it can sing along T-Mobile’s 3G frequency. Actually, the device supports four different bands – 850, 1900, 1700 and 2100 MHz, but it’s the 1700 Mhz frequency that’s most interesting to the Deutsche Telekom-owned mobile operator’s users.
In addition, Huawei’s modem also recognizes 2G standards, meaning it will work on EDGE or God forbid GPRS where 3G signal is unavailable.
Again, no release date is known at this stage, but we’re hoping CES will provide us with some answers…

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.
