Really not much point having all that bandwidth when the links to other countries are so damn slow.

So you'll be able to do what on your iPhone?

Can't understand why you need such high speeds for mobile broadband in such a small country. The nearest landline broadband connection is just around the corner.

iPhone ? Please, why would I own an iPhone.

Laptop/Netbook surfing anywhere in the country. I'll try and set it up with my TyTn II but as you said, limited use on a handheld device.

HSPA+ uses the mobile phone network to give you fast internet connections. With one of these you never need to worry about finding a "hotspot" again. I really won't use it much but it's new, it's free, so why not give it a shot.
