    Router, 3g hotspot AND charger?

    Beecrazy is offering the following:

    http://www.beecrazy.hk/hong-kong/deal/the-smallest-ever!-$298-for-a-multi-purpose-mini-portable-wi-fi-router-in-blue-or-green.-with-3g-hot

    They claim its a router, 3g hotspot AND a travel charger all into one.

    Been to the company website, but can't find any information about this product:

    Shenzhen Hame Technology Co., Ltd

    Too good to be true?

    The 3G router part - like most cheap ones - relies on you getting your own USB modem and plugging it in. It doesn't have any actual cellular circuitry built in. I didn't keep reading too long after seeing that - but I suspect it also only works as a router when it's plugged in, so it would be fine for a hotel room or office, but no good for doing what I did on Saturday - taking a quick break in a theme park in Shenzhen to check that a mid-afternoon job had run on a server in Hong Kong...
