Hmm, I thought the E61i supported all the UMTS bands all over but you may be right. First used a SIM in Berlin and the speed seemed poor over there as well as PosteMobile SIM in Tuscany.

On the Huawei, it's hard to say. But it came with a Dutch manual so the eBay vendor probably got some surplus units destined for Holland.

Like I said, in Deiva Marina, I got it to prompt for the PIN on my SIM once so it detected a network it liked down there.

Unfortunately, I'm spending time in smaller towns so there aren't many shops and those which exist do not have much inventory of dongles. I do spend 2 nights in Milano but it's at the end of the trip and there's no point in buying a key then.
