Maxis10 Review – Apple iPad and Wifi Modem E5832

February 18th, 2011


Lucky Me. I was selected as one of the reviewers in Maxis10 Reviewers Programme to review the iPad 16GB Wifi + 3G and the Huawei Wifi Modem (E5832).

First off, if you think this is fun, and you have an active blog, you can participate in this program too, just register yourself here. (Look for the Join Maxis10 link)

The review this time around is quite special due to the fact that the 10 reviewers get to review two devices instead of the usual one only.

Introducing Device No 1 : The Apple iPad 16 GB Wifi + 3G

Actually, does the famous iPad need introduction some more?
Not to be confused, Maxis does not sell the iPad. However, the iPad with 3G feature will need to use mobile broadband, and this is where Maxis mobile broadband plan or the latest iPad data plans come in.

It’s not solely for iPad with 3G though, because if you have the iPad with WiFi ONLY, I don’t think you can constantly get WiFi connection all the time, everywhere.
🙂
And that is why:

Introducing Device No 2 : The Wifi Modem E5832

Wifi Modem E58332 is a device from Huawei Technologies that boast of a capability of 7.2Mbps download and 5.76Mbps upload.

The speed of course will be dependant on the communications provider networks, among HSPA/3G/EDGE/GPRS. (This is going to be one of the key features to be tested and reviewed.)
The modem can be connected to PC via USB port for charging and also can function as an external USB drive when a Micro SD card is inserted into it.

In the following weeks, I will be posting the results of some test and also the experience of using these 2 devices together.
Stay tuned!
I also appreciate if you have any suggestions or questions about these devices and leave them in the comment section below.

Disclosure:
This post is in participation of Maxis10 Reviewers Programme, where 10 reviewers are given devices to use for a specific period of time to provide a fair and honest review to their readers.
Although it is my best effort to provide an honest review, the ultimate judgement is yours to make.
