Verdict

Overall: Limited phone functionality, but it’s a nice idea

Mobile broadband is booming and commuters across the country are plugging 3G USB modems into their laptops while on the train.

Most modems are simple button-free devices, but Toshiba’s HSDPA G450 has a numerical keypad and miniature display, allowing it to double up as a mobile phone.

Features are very limited (you can call or send a text) and the small screen, combined with the two circular keypads, makes it hard to navigate.

But we like the idea of adding simple phone functionality to an HSPDA modem, and it will also play your MP3s.
