[Ubuntu-BD] Mobidata EDGE Modem

[Omi Azad]

Last Eid I bought one Samsung E250 from Grameenphone and was using it 
for my Internet needs back in my hometown. The performance was awesome. 
Far better than Nokia. The download speed was more than 29K always.

The first disadvantage of Nokia (any model) is, you have to use a 3rd 
party charger to keep the mobile live. But this Samsung takes charge 
from data cable, so no need to worry about charge.

If you buy it, you will get 1GB memory card + 1 Stereo Desktop speakers. 
But you have to buy the data cable, which costs 100 taka. GP took 6700 
for the phone and I'm impressed.

One more thing, the phone is to be sold to Business Solution subscribers 
only, so you have to give them a Business Solution user's number to buy 
the phone. If you don't have any, let us know. :)

Hope it helps.
