Suggestions regarding USB Modem Sticks before buying

[Tyger]

Hi All

I am planning to buy USB Modem stick - which looks like Pen Drive. What is the "exact name" for this thing?

I have some questions before i buy:

1) I plan to use USB Modem stick as a backup option, so which one should i choose? Prepaid or Postpaid?

2) Can we use any data provider services if we buy a USB Modem stick. I mean, suppose, i buy Tata Photon modem stick, can i use !dea or Airtel or MTNL Sim in it at a later time if i plan to change?

3) Is there any universal USB Modem stick which can accept any SIM/data cards? If so, what is the cost?

4) Which one is cheaper among MTS mBlaze vs !dea Netsetter vs Tata Photon vs Reliance Netconnect in Delhi?
Btw, are there any other good service providers? What about MTNL?

5) Finally, what are the important check-lists before i buy a USB Modem stick?

Thanks
