[QUOTE="nirvana, post: 577369, member: 25139"] Vodaphone branded data cards work with OSX not sure about Manx Telecom since I'm not sure who manufacture their data cards. With my Nokia N95 tethered to my Macbook as a modem I get about 100kb/s download which is more than enough for internet browsing, email and the odd download. Of course your speed will depend on your 3G coverage which is worth looking in to. I'm not sure what happens when you don't have 3G coverage and only normal phone coverage. I'm guessing that you can connect to the net just alot slower. I have a 3GB fair usage policy which is enough for me. I use it five days a week at college and numerous time using the internet on the phone itself. I should imagine that 2GB is enough for e-mail. Look in to what happens if you do go over your usage limit some providers charge high prices for data usage. I find the coverage reliable while on the move. When I was in the back of the car on a journey to Birmingham my connection was stable and fast the whole duration. Everything works pretty much the same once you are connected there should be no need to change your e-mail client. Hope that helps a little. [/QUOTE]
