To get started, you need SIM from your service provider, a HSDPA Data Card or a HSDPA USB Modem, a laptop with a PCMCIA slot or USB slot, and a network signal (HSDPA, 3G, EDGE, GPRS, Wi-Fi). It is best to connect to the internet via HSDPA or 3G. This will give you the fastest speed. If you are unable to obtain HSDPA or 3G signal in your current location, you may connect via EDGE or GPRS, although these will give you slower speeds versus 3G or HSDPA. GPRS is comparable in speed to a dialup connection while EDGE is around twice the actual speed of dialup.
