    Hi to all.

    I am a new comer to Android pad.

    I am pleased with the pad except I purchased this to use in my car to get emails Etc.
    instead of taking my laptop.

    I have a E1572 O2 broadband dongle I use on my laptop in the car with no problems.
    Will this dongle work on my pad. The supplier says I need a E1750 dongle @ £39.
    Can anybody advise me.
    When I plug the laptop dongle in to the pad It says connetting and then not connected.
    I am at the stage where I am wishing I had stuck to my laptop.

    Dave

    Precisely the same problem with mine. Just phoned O2 and they reckon it won't work as the dongle is Windows based - even got a refund. They suggest a mifi device at around £50 plus the contract or payandgo. Ho hum, you learn by experience!
