not really....max supported speed is diff...

one is 2mbps only and one is 5.xxmbps for upload...........;);););)

[genghiskt]

Isn't it depend on the plan you sign up? I have B970 which is 7.2mps upload 2mps but my plan is those 1.2mps and 512kps upload I still get 1.2 and 512 onli.

[chuachongchee]

Hi, the specs are the same.... Both manual and specs confirm HSDPA (7.2mbps) and HSUPA (5.76mbps)..

It does not matter anyways... these speeds are always max achieveable speeds... never hit in actual user usage..

ha. the red is the plastic near the cap... indicator is on the main modem unit iself.. like normal huawei ones... green blue etc etc...

the LED is exposed clearly on the case or it is just a light inside????;);););)

I dont think the led does matter in this case... be it hsdpa or hsupa or watever... and the led is in the modem unit self.. not exposed of sorts...

[chuachongchee]

hi all.. one more quick update... usiing the e1762 seems like faster... i find the surf net/download email etc is much smoother and faster...

used to like pause and continue at times...


one more very apprant thing is that the modem is not hot/warm!.. samsung used to be freaking warm after 10mins or soo... e1762 has been on for me for past 2 hours odd... its only marginally warm... even my laptop more warm than it.. ;)

[Innocast]

I dont think the led does matter in this case... be it hsdpa or hsupa or watever... and the led is in the modem unit self.. not exposed of sorts...i am asking not becos of what hsdpa or hsupa....i just compare the design only.........i prefer those got dedicated LED one..........;);););)

Theres only one led inside the modem.. that turns green/blue etc etc...

[tekster]

maybe u should try to download continuously for 5 hrs then see if it's warm or not.

Built-in wifi router? So I can use this at home with other people? Like a normal router? How much is it?

[WestGuy]

I noticed that the E1762 supports Write/Send/Receive MMS, which the E1750 is not capable of

[chuachongchee]

does not matter.. samsung z800 after 30mins already very warm... much warmer than my laptop.. even in aircon room..

E1762 is still relatively cool... somwhat cooller than my laptop still...

Hi bro,

Yes, you can share the network just like any router. What you do is insert the sim card into it and connect the power supply. That it. you can secure the network too just like you setup any router. Best, you can bring it anywhere.
