Am in similar territory and deciding between a Wifi and Wifi+3G enabled tablet. Have set my eyes on Asus Transformer Prime, and looking for such portable 3G solutions. Am planning to import a portable 3G wifi router from US, via a friend. Can anyone suggest any good websites or good offers in the US?

Huawei e5 is sim based mifi device and problem anyone might face by anyone who is into roaming because apart from data cards normal 3g romaing sometime does not work properly during roaming and since i want to use a lot while roaming I have bought asus Asus WL-330N3G 6-in-1 Wireless-N Mobile Router. I will use it with data card. I bought it for 2489 from flipkart using 400 off coupon.

huawei mifi is sim based where you have to put sim and use it. and asus is a 6 in one router for 3g use u need to plug 3g usb dongle and for power heuwei have inbuilt battery on other hand ausu works through power of usb or power adapter

Huawei E5 accepts a 3G sim and runs on battery while Asus WL-330N3G requires a usb modem (3G/EVDO) and runs on usb power. E5 focuses on portability while WL-330N3G focuses on versatility.

But in India you will face lots of issues due to 3g roaming in case you use sim based Huawei e5 and if you use asus wl-330n3g you face such roaming issue because you will access 3g with dongle and which have 3g roaming tieups with all operators. Thats why I choose asus its best and better to use
