HSPA Evolved Mobile Broadband (Huawei E182E) from 3 is in the house
Posted by: Phat^Trance in Operator News, Other Phone Brands
Just got my hands on the Huawei E182E HSPA mobile broadband modem from the operator 3 in Sweden (Price 35$ / month). Havent had the chance to test the modem in different places yet so the “speed test” screenshots (that u can find after the break) are tested at my place.
The operator 3 is the first of the operators in Sweden to offer the latest HSPA Evolved technology with 21Mbps. The HSPA Evolved is available in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö – Lund and in Karlskrona.
HSPA Evolved, which is also known as HSPA + is the next generation of HSPA technology. The first version of HSPA Evolved supports data speeds up to 21 Mbps, which means that a user can expect practical speeds of up to 16 Mbps, about 60% faster than other networks for common mobile broadband. Future versions of HSPA Evolved will offer speeds up to 42Mbps, then 56Mbps and finally 168 Mbit / second.

http://www.speedtest.net/ gives testing in english and not only in Swedish as Bredbandskollen. Jag har inga problem med svenskan, men andra kan ha.

Yeah but phones like the Nokia 5800 only have flash 8 so they don’t work with Speedtest.net. You can only use speedtest.net mini on those.
Where did you download the B427 firmware update from? I cant seem to find this anywhere. Thanks.

Mobile broadband consumes battery life of the gadget that is being used quite fast. The faster the broadband is the more taxing it will be on your phones battery life.
