The Huawei K5150 is available in the market, although the above image is with Vodafone logo, but sure its available in networking and gadget stores near you. Just check out on nearest local store. About $50 to $55 is little bit high for a USB modem, I mean compared to similar device at the same brand but with lower max-speed of the modem. You can buy a 100Mbps 4G LTE USB modem for about $20 to $25, and so the gap prize about $25 higher is worth for about a half additional max-speed?.
