@bluevolt thanks I was also looking in same budget
Even though I agree with you there is a small difference nexus phone was PREMIUM :) this one's more aimed at middle class for which India is a surefire market
Okay thanks to all especially attrish
Received the router today evening and right now posting from playbook :) using it
Getting good speed on Vodafone 3g
Will attempt a mini review......my first :) soon
The backlit problem is not as bad if you can get a proper application which lets you set the background and font color and brightness as on my mobile I set background black and font bright gray with low brightness say 20%
Trust me except for small font size due to small screen of mobile there...
On the newest tab 2 @ 19500inr you have a inbuilt 3g sim slot.......No need for dongle :) hell you can even use it as a phone for calling with a Bluetooth headset
have u used connectify on win 7?
It gives me a stable adhoc hotspot
BUT when i use it for infrastructure mode the hotspot is very unstable
my e63 disconnects within a few seconds same with my playbook (for which infrastructure mode is must)
any body has any better ideas preferebly free :)...
assuming u have a smartphone with 3g and bluetooth u can tether to playbook and surf
for your stated needs its great

only real problem is u need infrastructure mode wifi for updates and bb app world
ps...
u could try the micromax mmx 400r for 2700@ flipkart or 2550 @ebay
.....then upgrade when 4g routers are available

a little googling shows huawei has one 4g router in pipeline
Ok... So went to micromax site and requested to mail user manual......... Got it today has total 22 pages
Will read up and then query you :) since you have used it
Btw did you face any problem say if connection remains idle for some time or any other??
They usually sit around with a pile of sim card in small credit card size cases on table in railway station........
No proper telecom shop will do this :)
