Review and win an O2 Pocket Hotspot

Abs — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 15:27:11 GMT

Wish you had one of our Pocket Hotspots in your pocket? Well, your wish can come true…

Always wanted to write a techie review? Love winning stuff? Here’s a fantastic opportunity, just for you Community members to review & maybe even go on to win an O2 Pocket Hotspot. We’ve got our hands on a bunch of Pocket Hotspots that we’d like you to review. All you have to do is, tell us why you’d like to review the small yet powerful gizmo and how can it change your day-to-day life?

As we've said, the competition is open to all members of the O2 Community and will close at 8PM on Friday 10th August 2012. We’ll then select three lucky people who’ll then review our gadget for a week. Once the three reviews have been completed, they’ll be posted in the O2 Community, in their own words, and share the experiences with our amazing little gizmo. And out of those three, the community member with the best review will win an O2 Pocket Hotspot.

Any Q’s let me know and if you’re all clear then, go go go – all the best folks!

Thanks

Abs

NOTE: The competition has been extended so more community members can participate. The closure will be at 8PM on 10th of August

I would love to review the O2 pocket hotspot to compare it against the iphones wifi hotspot for speed etc in various locations and to see how it can benifit our data usage on the iphone i.e. help manage our 500mb limit on our contract. (it looks an easy way to boost usage even with the 200mb a day option if slowed on iphone)

P.S. It would help all those on old legacy simplicity eyc (unlimited) tarrifs that cannot tether their other devices.

I'd like the chance to review the Pocket Hotspot. I do quite a bit of travelling around the country and would like to trial the device at airports and train stations. Being on a legacy tariff I don't have the personal hot spot or tethering options available on my iphone.

I would love to review O2 Pocket Hotspot. I do a lot of travelling in Scotland and with a developing Grandson I love to keep in touch with him, this would be a great device to allow that.

I'd like to review this as it would be perfect for providing internet access to my wifi only iPad when I am away from home with work.

Having said that, it would be handy to use in work also when things are slow! (Don't tel my boss that!)

Late addition to my travel plans : my son and his fiance are joining me in Thailand later on this year and they are threatening to take me out of my comfort zone of bars and hotels. Seems this will involve visiting some of the nearby islands. As they will both be travelling with ipads I think this will be a great trial and review for the Pocket Hub.

but as it is only payg @jonsie it will like other payg dongles not work out of the uk looking at the t&c. (assuming I am reading them correctly as it is a pay up front service)

I'd like to review one I have one on three so would be great to test them side by side as I don't find the three one all that great so would love the chance it would be great for trying with my wifi only iPad as a driver I'm on the road a lot all over the country so could try in many places

But the two hour wait at the airport would be a bonus and the internal flight to London with another 2 hour wait. It would get a lot of usage and a fair testing. WSame landing back in the uk.

I would like to give one a try, i think i could put one to good use. Having a few bbq's the coming weeks, think it would be great to share outside with mates, as hardly anyone can reach my home wifi from the garden.

I'd love to review the O2 Pocket Hotspot as I currently carry a multitude of devices around with me almost every day and I could see this being a huge benefit to me. The fact that I'm also a shameless geek has nothing to do with ... ahem!

My job means that I travel about a lot and carry quite a lot of tech so being able to connect devices easily to the mobile network (some of which are wifi only) would be great. I've currently got on me:

- a Work Laptop

- Android mobile phone

- Android tablet (wifi only)

- work mobile (no data connection but has wifi)

I think seeing how the Pocket Hotspot helps me in my everyday life would be something really interesting to share in my review!
