The HSPA+ network of Smart and Globe are continuously growing and getting wider coverage around the country. Devices like the Huawei E586 maximizes the speed of the HSPA+ network (just like the ZTE MF60). Check out our full review after the jump.
We featured this HSPA+ capable mobile hotspot from ZTE a few weeks ago and we’ve finally gotten a review unit to test. Like many other pocket WiFi (MiFi) devices before it, the ZTE MF60 is one pretty kick-ass unit. If only it were more affordable.

Note:
The configuration settings will be sent to your phone. You will need to select “Save All” to save the settings in the phone. Some MMS and GPRS handsets already have pre-loaded phone settings.
Activation of MMS and GPRS will require a confirmation message from Smart. A message will be sent to the sub once the feature has been activated.
Last Thursday, Google announced a new Mobile Java Application based for GMail. This mobile client can be downloaded and installed in a lot of supported handheld devices.
Gmail users can already access their accounts through the browser on their mobile devices, but this application brings users the same great Gmail experience — complete with search, conversation view, and automatic synchronization with the desktop version — with the following new benefits:
* Up to five times faster access and use, thanks to automatic pre-fetching of messages
* Drastically reduced clicks and scrolling to access email
* Fewer keystrokes for reading, composing, or searching mail
* Attachments, including files and photos, viewable and automatically resized to fit the user’s phone
I wanted to blog about it then but I was trying to access gmail.com/app to download the client on my Nokia 3230 but it seems my GPRS settings would not work. I tried downloading the new settings for SmartInternet/SmartGPRS today and was able to successfully install the Java app.
Yes, it’s faster indeed, and the interface is mobile-friendly. I’d usually get a notice to “use network to connect” which is kinda bug me for a while but checking and replying to emails is way easier than before. And, with Smart’s GPRS rate of Php10 per 30 minutes, this beats going to the net cafe to check your GMail.
We head out to Vigan around 2AM this morning. I brought my car, asked my cousins to drive for me so my brother tagged along. I thought that if I had to spend this whole week in some place like Vigan, might as well make the most out of it.
Just before we left, I was checking the AirborneAccess website if they have any available hotspots in the historical city. Unfotunately, there was none, but I just remembered that Arnold posted his life-saving day by Smart 3G the other day. So I borrowed my cousin’s N6680 to try it out with my laptop. The settings would not work for the N6680 but when I tried my N3230, it worked!
While on the road, I hooked up my laptop to my mobile phone and tested out Smart GPRS. Took me a while to be connected and when I was able to login, the pages load real slow, I couldn’t logon to Yahoo Messenger and I can’t view cPanel/WHM. Not a big problem but a little inconvenient especially when you want to check on your server that’s been cranking up in the past few days.
Anyway, my connection spoeed was just around 40Kbps and the pages are crawling. Even GMail is having a hard time loading.
Still, it’s way better than nothing at all. And for Php10 per 30 minutes, it’s a bargain.
