Gizmo of the Month - 3G PAYG Dongle with no expiry!
Vodafone are offering 3G dongles with no pay monthly fee and no expiry on download credits purchased. See here for details.
As far as I know they are the only company currently offering this, although if anyone knows otherwise I would be very interested.
Basically you buy the dongle for £39 with a gigabyte of credit for free, then when it runs out you buy another gig for £15. There no requirement to do this and there's no expiry on the 1GB you have purchased (unlike all other offerings I have seen). £15 per gig isn't very cheap admittedly but at least you don't have to pay it every month!
I've actually owned one of these for 3 months now and I can recommend it. The GPRS fallback its a bit slow obviously but on 3G it zooms along. I actually managed to download a large file quicker on the dongle than my friend could on his broadband the other day....

I see Vodafone have discontinued this with no replacement. Thats not very helpful. Shame I know quite a few people that wanted one.
