I just picked up a Huawei E587u-5, it has more frequencies and is meant to be faster than other devices out there.
But... I had a hard time getting it going, and even now I have it configured, it seems to have a harder time getting connected to my sims (Roamline, Abroadband, Tru) than my older wifi Zoom We3g or my old Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, which still is the easiest option for a wifi hotspot.
The Huawei can take 4-6 mins to find the network, will say connecting for ages, then disconnects and tries again.

(My S2 won't work unless I pay for the tethering plan, and I've tried Foxfi and other apps, but none work, only USB tethering)
