Huawei is better than Micromax.
E122 support external antenna and it is good too.....

Tata Docomo is going to roll out 3G anytime soon. I heard their 3G ready cards can be activated now. Don't know abt their Data Cards though.

I would definitely wait for other private players before jumping into 3G data cards. I earlier burnt my finger by buying the MTS M blaze CDMA data card and it sucks big time.
Tata DoCoMo might be my best bet this time around for 3G services, if and only if they have reasonable rates. BSNL and MTNL are giving pretty reasonable rates on 3Gservices upto Rs 850 for 5GB download. But have not tried them as yet.

Anybody who has used Rcom 3G services, could you please update howz the network connectivity?

As I am from Kolkata, can not use Reliance 3G with my 2G SIM! :( but my friends from mumbai saying the speed is good, compared to Tata Docomo. Reliance 3G speed varies from 2Mbit/s - 4Mbit/s ! But browsing is not that good, I guess that's coz of long ping time! Download is fast, as few people are using it currently!

But as tariff is high, there will be few takers of 3G!
