Sony Ericsson Makes a tri-band GPRS modem 143

Posted by Hemos on Monday November 11, 2002 @10:24AM from the tri-band-that-modem dept.

prostoalex writes "Sony Ericsson announced their new PCMCIA GPRS wireless modem, capable of delivering 57.6 Kbps. It is tri-band and works in 900/1800/1900 MHz range, which led Sony Ericsson to imply that the card will work in 160 countries, providing an always-on Internet connection. Currently only Microsoft operating systems (starting at Windows 98) are supported. No exact price information on official site, but the PC Pro article above quotes 200 UK pounds. The manufacturer also runs a contest for those who would rather get one for free."

Personally I get really offended when such a wide variety of countries are supported but my beloved home country of Ecuador is not.
Missing options:
I'm from Ecuador, you insensitive clod!
