Sunday give away

Nokia CS-10
The kind guys at Nokia gave me one of their fantastic Nokia CS-10 Internet sticks to test with MAXroam. I have finished testing and the results are great.
Its a mobile broadband usb dongle that works in Windows and Mac, just stick in a 3G sim, enter the network APN and bang you are good to using the Nokia’s onboard software.
The device is capable of speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps down and 2.1 up.
I have finished testing and will give it away to one of the commentators on this post.
I have two runner up prizes courtesy of my buddy David Marcus of Zong, I have a couple of all all new Zong t-shirts to give away, if you need to integrate a mobile payments system David is the go to guy.

and the winners are, nokia Dongle Jonathan Greene @atmasphere, zong t-shirts Paul Sweeney and @stephenforde

  16. Posted by Derek T 19th April, 2009 at 3:27 pm

    Now if only you gave away free MaxRoam Tee’s as well we’d all be sorted :)

  17. Posted by Enda Crowley 19th April, 2009 at 3:35 pm

    Looks good – I wish they would have followed Sierra’s (?) design with the upwards-pointing dongle – I hate stabbing people with 3 dongle (on the rare occasion I’ll actually get a signal with it) I when I’m on the train.

  18. Posted by Markus Göbel 19th April, 2009 at 4:25 pm

    That’s exactly what I’m missing.

  19. Posted by Dave 19th April, 2009 at 5:22 pm

    Wireless broadband, yay!

  20. Posted by Aidan 19th April, 2009 at 5:47 pm

    not bad prises at all, wireless broadband would be a plus

  21. Posted by Neil C 19th April, 2009 at 5:53 pm

    good man pat.
    go make my sunday

  22. Posted by James 19th April, 2009 at 6:07 pm

    Cheers Pat Easter Bunny Man!

  23. Posted by Tim Hunter 19th April, 2009 at 6:43 pm

    @Enda Crowley, you don’t need the USB stick to be flexible when you have a short USB extender — they’re useful in many a circumstance. I got one with some usb device and the cable has proved more useful than whatever device it was (search for 6 inch usb cable)

    i’d love to test it with a Nokia CS-10 :-)

  24. Posted by sean 19th April, 2009 at 7:15 pm

    Thanks pat, nice prize.

  25. Posted by Donal 19th April, 2009 at 7:24 pm

    Fantastic comp. Count me in please Pat. Just one question – what speeds do the t-shirts reach? I’d need at least 5MB.

  35. Posted by Cormac 19th April, 2009 at 8:20 pm

    Mr Phelan Sir,

    I would love, love, love to win this Nokia stick!
    All kinds of awesomeness.. I had to give up my Vodafone one last year and miss it terribly.

    A Nokia one would be perfect, it’d match my phones, my wallet, my keyring, my frisbee, my simcard holder…

    You get the idea ;)

    Great giveaway.
