What about a FR without 3G but with a 'normal' size USB2.0 port in which<br>
you can plug a 3G dongle?<br>
<br>
This has several advantages:<br>
<br>
o FR would be more free<br>
o FR would be less expensive<br>
o only one expensive heavy duty 3G contract for both your FR and your laptop<br>
o upgrading of 3G without the need for upgrading the FR<br>
<br>
FR would still have GPRS in this scenario.<br>
<br>
The USB port would be on the edge of the FR where we find the AUX button<br>
now. This would make the dongle point more or less upwards in both<br>
landscape and portrait mode.<br>
<br>
Related to this I'm looking for a converter between the small USB port<br>
on the FR and a 3G USB dongle (or a USB keyboard). I've searched but not<br>
found any. Any tips?<br>
<br>
With kind regards, Sander<br>
