    USB stick modem vs USB modem

    Currently have web and walk plus on my t-mobile contact which means I am able to use my laptop with my sim card to access the net if I want to. I have been looking around for a usb modem as I don't fancy paying T-Mobile £99 for one of theirs(as I already am on contract, I'd have to buy the pay and go one but stick my contract sim in it).

    Is there any difference between a USB stick modem vs a normal usb modem(eg: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/m...nd/usb-modems/)

    Can anyone recommend a good one to get?
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    Re: USB stick modem vs USB modem

    why not just use the phone via usb or bluetooth no investment needed then.

    failing that i would go for a data card as there much sturdier.

    Failing that i would go for the normal usb modem. i feel that the stick would be too easy to break
