If you need a very portable solution I can recommend the Huawei MiFi routers, they can also work as a dongle with a micro usb cable. At home I use an Asus router which has a USB port which works with a 3g modem. That solution doesn't have the same limitation as the MiFi routers but it requires an electrical hookup.

Zibri uses PayPal - non-starter
Zibri requires Windows - I have a Mac
Zibri's instructions seem complicated - risky
According to the one (?!) review at Amazon

the e585 only works on the slowest of slow T-Mo US networks (admittedly NOT the original thread question).
