Hi, i got the same problem. usually i only use wifi but it would be nice to connect via hsdpa somtimes....

i tried some wifi2umts software solutions in combination with my S60 and my windows mobile phone but i could not get connection, neither via bluetooth - the connection over my defy (android) worked w/o problems.

The Hauwei S7 is sold in the U.S.A unlocked. It's hard to believe it's unlocked here and locked overseas. It's usually the other way around.

how much does it sell for in the US?
I picked up my T Touch for $250.
Any postings I had seen on ebay for the s7 had it at $350-$450

Yes that is strange that it is locked outside the States. I am happy to have one in my collection.

It's $299 regular price at Best Buy. No phone or data plan required.
I probably missed the intro sales price. Oh well.

How much did it cost?
Who have you gone with?
Pre-paid or post-paid.
I'm wondering if changing to one of the overseas kernals would cause it to be unlocked anyway. I know that some people have been playing with various versions over at the android tablets forum.
