Picked up a Hauwai E585 MiFi & unlocked it

[DivideBYZero]

Nice small unit, does HSPA and it just took a small tool which I ran on a windows VM on my Mac to extract the unlock code. Popped it in and now I can use any SIM I want for data. I plan to use this thing when traveling for work and with my PlayBook when I want internet access and only want to roll light.

I got 4mb down and 1.6Mb up on it earlier, and I'm posting from it now.

Best part is I get a data SIM from my corp, and that's all paid for, all around the world, hence my need to unlock!

Anyway, the device was only £41 on eBay, utter bargain.

What kind of data options you have on your SIMs? Unlimited/price? Other than the corp. one of course.

Well there are many options. One of the better on price is the T Mobile deal, 6 months of data for £20. It's only 1Gb a month, but for occasional surfing it's more than enough. There are many other options from all carriers, but as I said, I don't need them.
