Summary: Great for your pocket PC
Review:
I bought this to use with a pocket PC when wi-fi isn't available. It's actually a pretty cool little gizmo. The modem is about 3x3x1 inches, and it operates using a battery so it does not need its own electrical outlet. Plug it into any nearby phone line; turn it on; turn on your pocket PC (if you have bluetooth); and dial up.

It was a bit difficult to set up in the beginning. The included documentation is completely inadequate, and it took a technical support request to their website (which is often down) to get the full installation instructions from Socket. Once I had those, it only took about 5 minutes to adjust all of the settings and get it working.

A good choice for someone who wants a small, portable exterior modem for a bluetooth-capable laptop or pocket pc.
