I was just about to buy a SmartQ v5, or a Ramos w7, for precisely this purpose. Well done. Now, before you get my $189, tell me more about this "external USB 3G" business. Does this device come with a 3G radio, or not? That's like saying my laptop "has 3G" because it has a USB port.

I will write it myself if I am allowed to, but I can't flash my own firmware or have ro…

Hi, thanks for your comment. With an additional t-flash card you can expand the device memory. Alberto

I would not buy one based on what I've learned so far. Having a dongle for 3G connectivity seems like a bad design decision. The storage seems anemic, at just 2gb, and the main memory being 256mb makes me wonder why I would want to get rid of my old N800 for this. It would be acceptable if the dongle was in an internal or snap-in bay of some sort, so that it could not accidentally become dislodged and did not mar the…
