If you want broadband, mobile phone's antenna is never strong enough compared to even cheapest dongle's antenna.
Getting a dongle dedicated to broadband will lower your potential issues of poor range.
Get Huawei E353. It's future proof up to 21 mbps HSPA+. You can also order a separate external antenna if you have poor connectivity indoors.
Buy a non branded Huawei modem. So you don't have to deal with debranding / unlocking issues
E353 comes heavily branded by Hutchinson 3 UK/AU
But they had a deadline where first batch of modems were pushed to retail without any branding. Those modems are available in limited quantities on eBay India here.
Buy before stocks run out. I am using the same one and satisfied.
It's a known fact. Plus mobile has many overheads OS/background tasks which affect signal strength and reliability. My iPhone 4 for example. It's the epitome of antenna weakness. If you touch most phones, you cause signal to drop as demonstrated by Apple at last year's emergency PR conference in September.iPhone 4 manages 2mbps with wild fluctuations in speed. But E353 has steady speed of 2.20 Mbps at same spot.3G modem is designed with internet in mind so it works better. My experience.This might change as we get dual core phones with more resources and better allocation.
