    Hi,

    I've had my XPS for a few weeks now - it's great bar the squeaky space bar but I believe this will eventually go.

    One thing I do have issues with is the mobile broadband.

    I purchased a Three pre-paid PAYG mobile broadband SIM as I didn't want to commit to Vodafone contract etc. After a few hours of fiddling I got it to connect to the internet and I can browse successfully etc.

    Odd thing is the Dell Mobile Broadband Manager states the device is not communicating. Likewise the SMS utility doesn't seem to work, nor does the 3.co.uk mobile dashboard application.

    Has anyone else experienced this as the connection is working.

    Many thanks in advance, Ben.
